Adding some pretties to my booth in the gift shop at Coastal Camden Art League 🥰
I'm loving playing with the mix of string art and wood florals for my cross boards😍 and can we talk about Fall? I know it's still July but I'm just way too excited to wait any longer, and I refuse to apologize for it. Succulent pumpkins are making their way in!

I had the honor of creating these wood florals for the Hoehn wedding, and look at these sneak peeks! 🥰 This couple was so sweet and I truly am blessed to have been a part of their special day.

Good evening everyone! I wanted to thank you all for following my wood flower journey, and supporting my small business. You may have noticed some changes as we have done a bit of rebranding, but the purpose of the page remains the same: to showcase wood flower creations and other hand made items created by myself and my little family. There are more changes to come, and we appreciate your support as we grow and adapt ❤️

This pair went out this morning and they are now resting on top of tall twin bookshelves in their new home🥰 I am always happy to get the opportunity to work with these finished cedar logs as decor pieces, especially for our good friend who requested them.

Hydrangeas 🥰 this bouquet is spoken for but how sweet are all those shades of purple?😍🌸

This project is one of my favorites, and went before I could even finish it🥰 I will be making more variations and posting them here.

A few lovelies I dropped off at Coastal Camden Art League for my booth this afternoon 🥰🥰

Another set of mini potted wood roses on their way out the door this morning for Valentine's Day gifts.🥰 How sweet are they? I'm so blessed to have orders to fill, and I thank God regularly for this opportunity to create lasting art for the joy of others. Thank you to all who continue to support me on this journey as I learn and grow❤️

Just a super sweet wood carnation/rose bouquet 🥰 I took it to the Coastal Camden Art League but rumor has it she's already been snagged 🥰🥰 I love creating work people can envision in their homes and in the hands of their Valentine.

I am blessed to have this medium and vision to work with. Here is a look at the process of creation from beginning to end on some hand made daffodils I delivered this morning.❤️

02/05/2024

I've been working on some hand made wooden daffodils this weekend. This is my first time creating this style of flower. What do you think?

01/23/2024

How cool is this wood flower peacock arrangement I delivered today? This was a new challenge for me, but I am so happy with the results! 🥰🥰

Valentine's Day flowers are making their way out the door and I'm so excited 🥰 I'm extra proud of the lilies, which I made from scratch by hand. They are airbrushed and hand painted in detail, and this was only my second time creating this style of flower 😍😍 so much fun. I can't wait to put out more items for the Coastal Camden Art League soon!

A few words about caring for your sola wood flower arrangements once you receive them. 🥰

Look at these adorable mini potted roses, made from wood! 😍

Finished up this sweet bridal party this week as well. 🥰

12/13/2023

I delivered the cutest little custom wood flower arrangements today🥰 these were ordered by a local small business as thank you gifts for her customers. How precious are these?

10/31/2023

"Fall fiesta" was definitely a new theme for me, but I was ready for the challenge! I absolutely love how festive these succulent pumpkins turned out. 😍 One of my favorite things about working with wood flowers is the way that they can be used for just about everything. ❤️

My daughter really wanted to pose for a photo with them, so please enjoy her little face🥰

A handful of the projects I have been working on lately🥰 Some of these wood flower pieces can be found at the Coastal Camden Art center in Saint Marys, others are custom designs. Look at those fall colors😍😍

Two very different bouquets I created this week 🌸💀

06/28/2022

It is so refreshing to get back to creating after putting it off for so long. Sometimes in life when it rains, it pours and it has been hard to find the drive and ambition to make these hands make anything. It has truly made me happy to pick up the airbrush, paint brush and glue gun to put a few things together.
I always enjoy creating variations of the succulent crescent moon wreath, and as one of the first projects I have taken on since I decided to come back to this, it has a lot of love poured in. Each wood succulent is painted in detail by my own hand and arranged with care. I am hoping the new owner is just as thrilled with her this piece in person 🥰

06/21/2021

I finished this piece this evening just in time to snap some photos. 🥰 Such soft, woodsy vibes! The room this is going in is also full of hand carved/worked natural cedar, which the flowers are also on. It is for one of those customers that is also a good friend of ours, and we are just so blessed to have such supportive people around us. Any time someone wants my work in their home, I am so happy. However it always feels a little special when it's someone you call friend. I get to see the pieces in their new homes when we do get togethers and it makes me feel like a kid with their drawing on the refrigerator.
The cedar log measures approximately 4 feet! 😳 Lovingly nicknamed Big Betty. I'm so happy I stepped outside of my comfort zone on this one. 🥰
I worked off of some advice from an awesome friend when I was truly stumped about which direction to go, and this is what I came up with.

Look at these super moody wood succulents 😍😍
Totally worth the blue-green hands 😅

How cute are these vintage yellow trucks?! These trucks can be tricky to find, so I was thrilled to get my hands (and flowers😍) on two of them. All wood flowers hand painted or airbrushed in detail personally.

05/08/2021

Can you believe these are made from wood? That's right, wood!
I just love the way these came out 🥰🌹 I am still getting the hang of the airbrush, but I am happy with the overall results😍😍
