Inspired

Did you know that air plants make their non-parasitic homes on other plants and do not require soil? They are pretty amazing, and I was so moved once I saw them on a friends' windowsill. I fell in love and began to see them every where and began looking for them in person and online. You can find some beautiful plants for purchase on Etsy, but I found some gorgeous plants at my local Mahoney's.

I visited a second hand shop in Waltham, and quickly snatched up some beautiful containers that would complement the artistic and wild plant forms. A simple arrangement of bark and moss makes for a stunning presentation - wa la!

I had to arrange my work space immediately so that I could see them and be inspired from each glance in their direction. They have proved to be a great business partner, as they have inspired me in my latest creations. Can you see how?
