I have a fascination with Fairies and was searching for ideas for a Fairy costume that I’m making when I stumbled upon these recycled cemetary flower dresses by fiber artist Susan Lenz. She’s brilliant! This was exactly the inspiration I was looking for… http://artbysusanlenz.blogspot.com/

Hi!
Thanks for sharing my work! The dresses were fun to make and are a blast to wear. Each is made from totally recycled materials (except for the actual thread). They’re wash-and-wear too! The “Leaf Dress” recently won an award in the “ART from Trash” juried show in Hilton Head. I hope you found my earlier blog post that shows how I created them on the adhesive coated, water soluble stabilizer. Thanks again!
Susan
