Powerful New Print Shows Hijab Decorated with Flowers
I like this new print that Icy & Sot created to aid the programs in Haiti and Braddock, Pennsylvania. The Iranian brothers wanted to challenge conventions with this personal and political statement. A woman is covered with a hijab, but instead of hiding her, it’s calling attention to her, with the help of spring flowers. Called Unforced Hijab, this is a limited edition print (to 250) that’s 13 x 19 inches. It makes you think.
Icy & Sot: “Unforced Hijab depicts that the Hijab can be a beautiful thing for someone if it’s not forced.”

The Prettiest Portraits (Involve Flowers)
You can always count on flowers lighten up any mood. They can even take a photo from just good to absolutely breathtaking. Today, I thought I’d round up some of my photos of people surrounded by flowers. Dreamy, aren’t they? Must try this technique out myself.

Artist Transforms Clothing with Beautifully Embroidered Flowers
While many people look at a tank top, a t-shirt or jeans as just regular clothing, artist Tessa Perlow sees them as the perfect canvases for her embroidery. The New Jersey-based artist covers up parts of clothes with beautifully embroidered images like animals or flowers. I was especially entranced by her flower embroidery, they breathe new life into plain clothing. Each piece is totally and completely unique. Though I’m a minimalist, who prefers to wear black or white, I would definitely don her clothing. It’s like wearing art!
You can keep up with Perlow on her Instagram. She’ll let you know of a new piece that’s available for sale on her Etsy shop.

Walk Through an Upside Down Flower Garden in San Francisco
Just how magical does this look? Rebecca Louise Law latest exhibition photos have just hit the web. Called The Beauty of Decay, the installation is located at the Chandran Gallery in San Francisco. How I’d love to walk through this myself!
As one commenter wrote: “Try to experience this in person. The photos are great but standing amidst these strands was extraordinary. I’ll be going back over and over the watch these flowers ‘age in place.'”
Talk about a selfie spot!

Sunlight Through Poppy Petals
Have you ever looked at a picture of flowers and it instantly brightened up your day? That’s what this photo did to me. It was taken by Flora Forager, a self-proclaimed “botanical artist, painter, writer, nature lover, [and] light seeker.” Using flower petals, leaves, and other natural materials she finds in her garden or in urban areas, Flora Forager creates dreamy scenes.
She’s based in Seattle but she’s been vacationing in Venice. You can follow her on Instagram, here.
Below are a few more of her poppy pictures.
You can buy one of Flora’s prints over on her website. (Isn’t chamomile tea the cutest?) She also has a journal you can pick up over on Amazon.
Beautiful Canopy Made of 150,000 Australian Native Flowers by Rebecca Louise Law
Artist Rebecca Louise Law is known for her huge installations that resemble ethereal upside down gardens. She’s back with her largest installation to date. Called The Canopy, it consists of 150,000 Australian native flowers which include rodanthe, hydrangea, protea, statice and roses among others, which have been individually entwined with copper wire. The Canopy took one month to complete with 30 people working on it. I was given these first pictures of the impressive, permanent piece, which will hang at Eastland shopping mall, in Melbourne, Australia, starting on June 22. Over the years, I’ve consistently been amazed by her works and even created this compilation post of some of my favorites.
See pictures of her previous work here.
Beautiful Faux Bouquets by Abigail Ahern
Though I love getting fresh flowers, I’m terrible at keeping them alive. That’s why when I saw these beautiful faux bouquets on Terrain’s website I thought these would be perfect! They’re remarkably realistic and the best part is you don’t have to water them. English designer Abigail Ahern hand-assembles each bouquet and creates beautiful combinations of flowers. My favorite is Lavender Meadow (which you see above). It’s made of tiny blossoms in shades of periwinkle and lavender. Set in a tin jar, it looks rustic yet timeless. (Since I love the smell of lavender, I’d probably buy this mist to go along with it.)
The flowers are not dried. They’re made of silk, plastic and wire. I never knew that silk flowers could look so realistic!
Green Hydrangea Faux Bouquet
White Meadow Faux Bouquet
I’m also loving this dried rose and Larkspur bouquet and this dried globe amaranth bunch in red. Also, this faux magnolia branch would look classic in a simple blue vase, as pictured. It almost looks like the wind is blowing it.
Beautiful Bouquet of Tulips for Mother’s Day
Lately, I’ve been in love with tulips. This upcoming Mother’s Day, I think I’ll drop a hint to my kids (aka husband) that I’ve been eyeing these. I’m particularly in love with this mix of pink and white tulips, called Luxe, by the company Bouqs. Have you heard of them? They make the whole process of buying flowers easy. Sure it takes a little bit of planning on your part (no quick grocery run) but the end result is worth it. If you’re more of the DIY type, check out Bouqs for some bouquet making inspiration.
It’s not too late to get these delivered by Mother’s Day. (If you want something a little more ornate, Mom is Cute! is stunning, too.)

Girl With Hidden Flowers by Clare Elsaesser
I’m loving this simple but sweet art print by California-based artist Clare Elsaesser. I found the piece on Anthropologie’s website. You can’t see the girl’s face but you know she’s holding a bunch of flowers behind her back. Who could they be for?
