Matejka Javornik

Matejka Javornik encountered paper flower making at a handicraft workshop 14 years ago. She made her first bouquet there, but didn’t pay much attention to it. Two years later, when she read an article about paper flower making being part of our traditions and cultural heritage, she saw the added value in it, combining craftsmanship, our past and tradition. These are the things she values and respects. Walks in nature have always relaxed her, and now nature is the inspiration for her work. Her paper flowers are such a close approximation of the real thing that only touch betrays that these are flowers that do not wilt. Paper flowers do not require a lot of tools, but they do need a lot of time, precision and patience. She is passionate about getting people to decorate their homes with paper flowers again and wants to introduce them to this skill in her manual.
