Slice the okra straight across to reveal the natural star-shaped center, then pat the slices lightly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Pour small amounts of paint onto a plate and gently press the cut side of the okra into the paint until evenly coated.
Stamp the okra onto the upper area of the paper, pressing firmly and lifting straight up to keep the flower shape clean.
Repeat stamping to form a clustered bouquet, reapplying paint as needed and rotating slices for variation.
Use green paint with a cotton swab or marker to draw stems extending downward from each flower.
Add small leaf shapes along the stems to fill empty spaces and balance the composition.
