Origami-like tissue paper flowers, or multiple layers of tissue paper folded into a fan, with a twisty-tie in the middle to secure it (taping to a stick optional) and then folding back the tissue paper to make the flower shape? If so, I loved those, made dozens of them as a child, particularly liked doing them in gradient shades of yellow/orange/red. If I'm thinking of the right ones ... do you cut the outer edges of the tissue paper to play with the effects?

And do you have pictures?

Neither. I take different colors and shapes of tissue paper (not kleenex, the type you shove in gift bags to cover the gifts) and put them on pipe cleaner stems. I can make what appears to be real carnations. I don't have any pictures atm, I'll see if one of my coworkers has a digi cam on her today and snap one of my desk. (I decorate my desk every month, and since I can't put "blessed Beltaine" up, I have a may pole up and "Have a prosperous May Day" with fairies, easter grass, and a bunch of my flowers on my desk.)

Edit: She has her camera with her, so I took some pictures. She's going to get them off the camera and send them to me, I'll crop and post.
