Flower Fashion



These are dresses made from Re-Cycled cemetery flowers!!
The concept might be a little creepy but the design sure looks colourful.

That's the bag of washed flowers from the cemetery :)

So....how did  make these dresses? Well, first one must have a bag full of artificial flowers from the cemetery. These were collected over several months....by dumpster diving and searching the insides of all the trash bins....NEVER from a grave site. 
All the artificial flowers were dissected and the fabric carefully washed and dried. I used them in my recent solo show. They've been stored in clean kitchen trash bags.

Chocolate Flowers


The Chocolate Cosmos is a very rare flower. 
It is a flower native to Mexico that has been extinct in the wild for over 100 years.  
Still, the species survives as a single, non-fertile clone created in 1902 by propagation.  
The flowers are a rich deep-brown color and grow to about 3-4 cm in diameter.  
As the name suggests, Chocolate Cosmos emit a delicious vanillin fragrance in the summer (also found in vanilla beans, some coffee beans and some cocoa beans).  Yum, slurrp....


Chocolate Orchids, are a wonder of nature.
When you smell these orchids, you'll be hit by a wonderful chocolate scent floating up from dozens of tiny blossoms. 
"Sharry Baby" the oncidium orchid is spectacular in its festive splashes of chocolate and white. The flowers appear to be soft and delicate, but the petals actually have a firm, almost leathery feel to them. 
Flowers of these species are one of the sweetest fragrances you can smell.
 The Sharry Baby is also  one of the easiest orchids to grow. 
 Its spiky stems can reach up to 3 feet in height with multiple (up to a hundred) purple-red mini blooms. Its velvety long green leaves are the perfect frame to showcase its amazing sweet-scented flowers.
Just like chocolate, they can be very addictive....
