It is said that during the Victorian era, flowers were used as a language tool for those who could not speak to one another under royal law. Using the boom floriography: the language of flowers, I have created a piece that is meant to express love in all ways. Self love, romantic love, admiration, promise, hope, growth, and story telling. Made from walnut wood, the casted scene above has cat tail, rose, yarrow, orange leaf, Queen Anne’s lace, wheat, white tulip, moss, butterfly, bee, fern, chamomile, heather, and larkspur. The entire piece is sealed using spoon + hook wood care and is meant to be hand washed and towel dried only!
