Bridget Beth Collins is a botanical artist and mom to three wild boys (her description, not ours!) who transforms flower petals, leaves and other natural materials into breathtakingly beautiful art.

Collins — who has a popular Instagram account — told BuzzFeed she was first inspired to make her creations when she noticed the petals of one of the orange poppies in her garden reminded her of a goldfish.

“Soon it started feeling like I could create things with flowers that I could never achieve with paint,” Collins said.

“I’ve been so surprised by the creatures that leap out of the plants — birds especially. It doesn’t take much to create feathers with petals, and they look so real.”
