Stop and smell the Wha!??

That's right flowers that are not well...flowers. Local artist Kellie Dunn creates "Novel Botanicals" amazingly realistic flower bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages by upcycling paper. Kellie constructs the petals from already recycled paper (double whammy for you Greenies), photographs, and magazine spreads creating hidden images with in the flower. The best part is Kellie combines the scent free beauties with gears from old watches, small buttons, and other tiny trinkets to create the details within the flower and leaves. ...did I mention no wilting involved?

Check out the bride that helped get the bouquets started. Then stop by Twice Blushed-Vernell Studio to meet Kellie and place your own custom flower order. www.offbeatbride.com/2010/05/north-dakota-cocktail-party
