Giclée Prints

The original design was an entry for the division of Little Bitty Pretty One of the 2002 Philadelphia Harvest Show. This has been one of my best selling designs used to create original artwork from wedding and funeral flowers. Many of the flower designs are created from carnation petals, zinnia petals, rose petals, and dianthus petals. The vase was made from a ginkgo leaf.
 

Amy Taylor asked me to do some floral work for her wedding. We became friends. One day she saw the original picture and asked me to make a Giclee' print of this picture. Amy was so enthusiastic and encouraging that I decided to call my picture Amy's Bouquet. The flowers used in the design include dianthus, spiraea, verbena, boronia and the leaves are thyme all grown in my garden. The vase is watercolor.
 

This Giclee print is taken from original design entered in the Philadelphia Flower Show in March 2002 and won Honorable Mention Award for the category Birds, Bees, and Butterflies. The original design was made from apple blossoms, pansies, verbena, coreopsis, cosmos, St. John's Wart, Sweet Annie, moss, grass and a maple leaf that were grown and pressed by Darlene.

This original design was entered into pressed plant division of A Tisket, A Tasket of the 2002 Philadelphia Flower Show. Original design is made from leopard lily, forget-me-nots, Johnny jump ups, verbena, golden rod, bees plant, peacock, and moss. This is one of my first giclee prints with only 100 signed and numbered made available.
 

This picture was created for my friend, Louise Gasser, who was dying of cancer. I dedicate this picture to her memory and 50% of the proceeds from the sale of this print goes to an Animal Shelter of your choice. This picture was selected into the Call to Arts Summit V Juried Art Exhibition June 2005.

Over the years I have collected clowns. This was an entry int the 2002 Philadelphia Harvest Show, Everybody Loves a Clown. The clown was named after the only pet I ever had back in 1969 and he was a miniature poodle named Roscoe. I loved the fact that Roscoe is an action clown. Roscoe is displaying that life is a balancing act and sometimes it gets out of balance. My first challenge of making a figure from pressed flowers.
 

The original design includes tree fern, rose petals, black-eyed Susan petals, various mint flowers, red salvia, sweet yellow clover, pansy petals, and tibochina leaves.  Real cantaloupe and orange peel are used in the design.  The basket is made from an oak leaf.  Nature's Delight has been selected for the November page of the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild Calendar 2004.
