King Protea

Owner of the paper florist shop, My Woolly Mammoth, a colorful and artistically diverse paper flower shop she started back in 2011 when she was struggling to find something to help with the household income while taking care of their rambunctious 4 year old that had just gotten kicked out of daycare for his wild ways.

Janita specializes in an array of paper artforms from origami, cardstock flowers, and botanical replicas from crepe paper. Over the past 10 years she has sent a wide array of paper floral arrangements to prospective brides from all over the world. In addition to creating custom flowers for clients, Janita has also taken time to teach others the art of paper floristry online and during in-person workshops.

Janita is truly the most passionate about sharing what she has learned and continues to while exploring new ways to work with paper and other mediums to create life like paper flowers.
