Dark Side Floral : Boba's Bouquet

Dark Side of Florals No. 2 - Boba's Bouquet 
upcycled vintage painting by Heather Castles

12.5 x 10 cm (5 x 4 inch) wood panel
22.5 x 20 cm (9 x 8 inch) vintage frame

For this series, I imagined there once was a resourceful florist who repurposed relics of the Empire into unique vessels for their pretty floral arrangements! (This series was inspired by my Storm Trooper cookie jar which has a missing lid… which I now use as a plant holder!)

The style of these mid-century florals was very popular to the point that it began to be mass produced. Once an idea is mass produced, it loses its uniqueness and value… which is why paintings like these, which took time and effort to paint by hand, are being discarded. I really enjoy adding something fun to these vintage florals to make them unique again, and give them another chance to be appreciated.

Frame details : The original wood vintage frame is in very good condition. But you are welcome to repaint it or swap it for a more modern look. (If you repaint it I recommend removing the art from the frame first.)
