The Paper Garden

Mary Delany created a flower garden of paper collages.

I discovered this wonderful post at Anthology magazine about Mary Delany and Molly Peacock’s book on Mrs. Delany’s life,  The Paper Garden. The New York Times' book review is a must-read that has an excerpt from The Paper Garden. More delectable collage images by Mary Delany at The British Museum.

Here is the best part: she didn't begin creating these wonderful pieces of art until she was 72, in 1771. And that gives me hope for my own artistic endeavors.
