Paper Artist Diana Beltrán Hererra's Gorgeous Bird Postage Stamps

When it comes to paper art, it's tough to top the 

exquisite work of Diana Beltrán Hererra.

Her paper bird sculptures are so detailed, you'd expect them to take flight.

I'm showing off her bird postage stamp project. 

A shout-out to Jessie, who did mission work in Papua New Guinea.

And this one is for my friend Ruth, who rises with the roosters.
