  • Happy Friday! Really excited to be featured on Houzz.com today for spring narcissus and tulip inspiration! Here is the link to the full @myslowflowers gallery, including 3 of my own pieces: https://buff.ly/2KPbbw2 Thanks for the feature!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #slowflowers #localflowers #tulips #narcissus #handtied #bouquet #seattle #seattleflowers #seattleflorist #washingtongrown #pnwgrown #grownnotflown #press
  • More #WhidbeyFlowerWorkshop goodness: @tobeynelsonevents modeling for @ecofreshbouquet! These little wraps are so versatile, and we used lots of them to create some seriously magnificent #foamfree installations during the week. Thanks to EcoFresh for sponsoring the workshop so we could work with and enjoy your goodies! With this and other helpers, there is literally no reason to use toxic floral foam. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nofloralfoam #tobeynelsonevents #floraldesign #ecofresh #sustainablefloristry #slowflowers
  • More #WhidbeyFlowerWorkshop goodness! We did a whole session on "outside of our comfort zone" centerpieces, including getting personal critiques from @tobeynelsonevents (amazing) and help from @suzannerothmeyerphoto on styling our shoots (pictured here, also amazing). Here is Suzanne shooting my piece! I am so grateful to these wonderfully creative women for sharing their advice and tips. And antlers. I will share more about this piece--and why it was outside of my comfort zone--in a separate post!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #whidbeyflowerworkshop #photography #centerpiece #arrangement #showyourwork #tobeynelsonevents #roamingradish #whidbeyisland #slowflowers #localflowers #pnwgrown #grownnotflown #washingtongrown #seasonalflowers #floraldesign #floraldesigner #sustainablefloristry #americangrown #seattle #seattleflowers #seattleflorist
  • More today about the #WhidbeyFlowerWorkshop. After our farm tour, we returned to @roaming.radish for a session all about wearable flowers! I made a floral tattoo, but we learned how to make SO MANY cool things from @tobeynelsonevents--Necklaces! Bracelets! Headpieces! Oh my! ⠀ ⠀ I already posted a shot of my floral tattoo a few days ago, so here are the leftovers. And I am actually not sure why I took this picture, but I love it now, because you can see part of my process. It's a still life unto itself. You're snipping tiny little things to perfection, and even sometimes removing petals, stamens, etc. to get the look you want. There are no rules! You make it look the way you envision it, and think about proportion and balance. And then you are left with a gorgeous handful of leftovers. This "waste" could actually be used to make another piece of something...a ring? A small necklace? I think next time I will challenge myself to do that, make something out of ALL the stems, flowers, leaves, and petals I use, just to see what interesting second piece I end up with! If anyone else does it, please tag it with #folkartchallenge so I can find, like, and share your work!⠀ ⠀ #showyourwork #tobeynelsonevents #roamingradish #whidbeyisland #slowflowers #localflowers #zerowaste #floralart #floraldesign #floraldesigner #floraljewelry #folkartchallenge #zerowaste #sustainablefloristry #washingtongrown #americangrown #seattle #seattleflowers #seattleflorist
  • Y'all ready for more gushing about the #whidbeyflowerworkshop? Good! Our first day started with a tour of @sonshine_farm! Farmer Pam grows a lot of gorgeousness for @seattlewholesalegrowersmarket and her flowers are always incredible. This is one of her cute little greenhouses. Look at all those thriving babies!! Her farm is totally magical, by the way. It's down a country road, at the top of a densely forested hill. There is a stand of gigantic cedar trees in the middle that provides shade to some lovely hellebores. It basically looks like where fairies would choose to live. And she is slowly reclaiming alpaca pastures, including planting lots of peonies and roses! I can't wait to see what the next few years bring her with all those perennial plantings! Thanks @tobeynelsonevents for coordinating this farm tour and thanks to @sonshine_farm for opening your farm to us! It's so critical for flower and food people to connect with farmers! ❤️
  • I'm going to add "model" to my resume! I made this very fun floral tattoo with @tobeynelsonevents at the #WhidbeyFlowerWorkshop this week and then wore it to our farewell dinner @roaming.radish. I also have to credit @myslowflowers and @dkprinzing for the "mechanic" to keep my shirt pinned out of the way! 😂 Tattoo ingredients include tulip, leucojum, fritillaria, hellebore, daphne, ranunculus, lisianthius, horsetail, moss, edgeworthia, and hebe. Thanks to our other instructors @lola.curious and @suzannerothmeyerphoto (whose photos of this will be way better!)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #tobeynelsonevents #sustainablefloristry #sustainablefloristryschool #wearables #wearableflowers #floraltattoo #flowers #underthefloralspell #foamfree #nofloralfoam #slowflowers #localflowers #americangrown #washingtongrown #pnwgrown #seattleflowers #seattleflorist
  • My creative heart is so full after a week of flowering at the #whidbeyflowerworkshop!! I have so much gratitude for our teachers @tobeynelsonevents @suzannerothmeyerphoto @lola.curious, JP & Jess for feeding and hosting us @roaming.radish, @dkprinzing for everything she does tbh, and all of my new flower friends! (Tap for tags.) They were all so inspiring and created such beautiful work. I'm SO EXCITED about all of the gorgeous stuff we made together and I can't wait to use what we learned! Thank you all! Flower people are the best!! ❤️❤️❤️ (PS, excuse my bad photos, I'm working on my camera shakes with @suzannerothmeyerphoto's tips and eagerly awaiting her pro photos of our work!) (PPS, it was awesome to see @suot.farm and @kt_lynd at dinner! 😘)
  • Working on wearables this #WeddingWednesday. Have you thought about a wearable for your wedding? I fell in love with making this floral bracelet last week and I wanted to share it. Such a cool alternative to stodgy old corsages with ribbons and bows! Thanks to @passionflowersue for being such a huge inspiration in this niche--it is so much fun to make and wear these! (You should follow her if you aren't already!) In this floral cuff I used ranunculus from @sweet.alyssum.farm, hellebores and scilla from the Folk Art garden, and fritillaria from #ChoiceBulbFarms. LOVING these spring blooms!!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #wearable #wearableflowers #corsage #weddingflowers #seattleflowers #seattleweddings #slowflowers #localflowers #springflowers #seasonalflowers #floralart #floraldesign #sustainablefloristry #washingtongrown #grownnotflown
  • Really excited to be on Whidbey Island this week to study with @tobeynelsonevents at the Whidbey Flower Workshop!
