all above photos from the very lovely Lani Trock

I have to say, I am so honored to have been included by Refinery29 as one of L.A.'s chicest florists. Forgive my rather verbose answers but overall, a really nice story. So lovely too to have been featured with Kristen Caissie of Moon Canyon Design and Yasmine Mei of Yasmine Floral Design. Read more here!

RILEY MESSINA

something about this image speaks to me so much. perhaps the swimmer's plunge into the dark waters? it's stunning. i can almost feel how cold yet refreshing that water is. 

found on the much respected floral artist Riley Messina's lovely site, Erba Floral Studio. 

i love this image so much.

taken from this rabbit hole which i frequent often.

happy thursday friends

YUNA

Yuna in full floral armor

My very good friend Claire gave me some images recently that she had of some of my work. To this day the floral regalia that I had to create for this YUNA music video shoot remains to be one of the most difficult floral artistry requests and yet also one of my most favorites! I was so nervous the day-of, but it all came through so seamlessly. It was a very fulfilling day.

KOKEDAMA MADNESS

sometimes you just got put some googley eyes on  ;)

Couple of things: 

first: happy Sunday to you!

second: I had a kokedama workshop in my studio last weekend! I started the class off with mini -terrariums! F U U N N N ! ! ! 

third: sorry for the the abundance in photos, but I am working on creating another site for all my outtakes and until it's up I kinda want to share with you what I am doing! And, I have to admit, I was very proud of this class -- I am always amazed at how beautiful everyone's kokedamas turn out. A + +
