Helen Ahpornsiri creates intricate collages using real flora and foliage. Each illustration is made up of hundreds of leaves and flowers which are foraged or grown, then preserved with traditional flower pressing methods. The plants are organised by species or colour before being cut and delicately arranged to form birds, insects and other creatures; all filled with tiny patterns and tangles of plant life. Helen lives in Eastbourne, Sussex, in the UK. Ruth Symons is an emerging author and has recently turned her hand to writing children's books. Ruth has written several QED titles previously, including publications from the 'Spot The. ' and the popular 'What If A Dino' series.
