Peonies are one of the hardest flowers to get right in paper — there's so much going on. The Claire de Lune variety has these creamy white petals with the faintest blush running through them, and a centre packed with golden-orange stamens tipped in red. Getting that centre right takes almost as long as the whole flower.
Each one is hand-cut from Italian crepe paper, shaped petal by petal, with a stem of around 50cm and a couple of green leaves. No two come out exactly the same — the way the petals open and curl varies each time.
On its own it's lovely. Three together in a wide vase is a different thing entirely.

One of a kind — each peony is unique
