And finally the creme de la creme!!!
Haute couture fashion from plant material!
 |
| Senorita You can hear the castanets as you imagine her skirt flipping from side to side. Flowers, ferns, and kale were part of the ensemble. |
 |
| Dutch Treat Netherlands The clever use of the galvanized bucket for the bodice of the dress is ingenious. The windmill head and skirt of pink tulips creates the perfect representation of the title. |
 |
| Miss “Grown in the USA”The dress is great , but......... |
 |
| oh, the shoes!! |
 |
| Eastern Elegance Her traditional Asian hat sits atop her flowing purple kimono as she stands behind a statue of Buddha. |
 |
| The orchids around Buddha's neck were stunning, but have probably been injected with dye to give them their blue accents. |
 |
| Out of Africa Hands down our favorite!!!! She is standing in front of a large antelope skull whose horns were made out of large white onions. Whole flowers as well as petals, seeds, and vegetables made up her detailed adornment. She was magnificent!! |
 |
| Pearl onions, tiny potatoes, blueberries, and cherry tomatoes were part of the many plant materials used for her collar. |
Such fun! Looking forward to next year!!
Love ya'll,
Shelli
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
