floral inspiration

I got a commission yesterday that I jumped at the chance to make. A lily for a little girl named Lilly. To be honest, I had to look at images of lilies to see how to best portray one on a wunzee, but to be quite honest, I think I nailed it. :)

I know its already sold, and it was a custom job, but I had to show it off...i am proud of it.

I love doing the commissions. Sometimes its difficult for me to come up with an original idea that would sell...so this way, I know its an automatic sale, and I get to be creative, catering to what the customer wants. (hint hint...give me more to make!) You can contact me through here, or feel free to check out the Etsy site.

Some more images of lovely lilies for you to gander at. They are a lovely flower.

the gerber daisy

Love love love the gerber daisy. I'd say its one of my favorite flowers for sure. I think its the size that gets me. It always stands out in a bouquet, seeking all the attention. Makes for a beautiful arrangement, as well as an accessory. Im a fan of the live flower for my hair (see photo below), but there are also a lot of great craftsters that let you wear them all year long.




Me, Mick and Frank Chu (SF Celebrity) at the Yelp Holiday Party 2007. Note the gerber daisy in my hair. Apologies for the picture quality.







If you are looking for a springtastic bright accessory, this hippyish headband really stands out. Mandizzle has many colors and styles. Really beautiful, though I'm not sure I could pull it off.





Creative Kiddos has really cute gerber daisy accesories for your munchkin. How precious does she look in her crocheted hat?






These gerber daisy clips would work for the kiddos and adults alike. I'd consider buying one, only so that my daisy doesnt die after one time use when I buy it fresh. Katylua's shop of little curiosities has a ton of great looking flower accessories.
