Hi I’m Beam!
I turn paper into gracefully shaped flowers that will never wilt. These paper floral wonders will outlive fresh flowers and can hold pride of place at home no matter the season.
These enchanting blooms I offer range from petite snowdrops to 2 meter tall geraniums. I also offer adult craft kits containing tools and materials needed to create a variety of beginner-friendly paper flowers.
Alternatively, bespoke paper flower installations and displays I have done in the past include a number of distinguished brands. These clients include Whisper, Samsung and Burt’s Bees.
BACKGROUND
I have been a Props/Interiors/Events stylist in the Philippines for more than a decade before deciding to move to the UK in 2020. The height of the pandemic that year, the great big move to a new country and the forced isolation has given me time to reflect and restart my creative journey. Thus, with only the basic of craft materials I had in my new home (paper, scissors and glue!), the idea of Blooms by Beam started to blossom.
PROCESS
I use specialty Italian crepe paper for my flowers as it holds its shape well. Most of the petals and leaves will first have a wash of watercolour to give it an uneven depth and realism. Sometimes, I will seek help from Mother Nature herself to sun bleach my crepe paper rolls to remove the artificial pigment. I then cut and shape the petals and leaves by hand.
Some pieces may require more detailing like the bell-shaped flowers of the foxgloves or the richly patterned leaves of the geranium. To achieve that, I make use of richly pigmented Japanese coloured pencils, felt tips pens or even the humble crayons which lends a lovely waxy effect.
I hope you have a delightful time perusing my collection of paper flowers and may our lifelong paper treasures give you the joy seek.
