Victorian Inspired Topiary

May 17, 2011 by Barb 8 Comments

I made this Victorian-inspired topiary approximately 15 years ago (maybe more). At the time I was over-the-top fascinated by these – grew my own flowers, dried them, and scavenged for unique stems. I made so many I gave away dozens! Ahhh, but that was then. In the past year I have been wanting to get rid of all of the ones I kept. Their time is over. They are dusty. They don’t fit with most of my decor. And I keep my stuff to a minimum. But I can’t do it. I can’t bring myself to throw them out. Perhaps by having a photo, inspired with Kim Klassens textures, we will be able to part ways. Perhaps. I used ‘Luminous’ and ‘Love’.

Check out all the vintage-themed beauties and Kim Klassen Cafe!
