The biggest decorating trend in New Orleans spring 2021 was to create a “House Float”, by decorating a front porch to resemble a Mardi Gras parade float. This originated as a program to employ carnival artists whose livelihood was put on hold during pandemic lockdowns. While a house can illustrate any theme imaginable, one common trend on our Southern homes is large decorative flowers.

While most artists use traditional paper and glue, I developed my own techniques that is based on awning construction and materials. My flowers have metal frames, sun-proof plastic petals, deck-grade wood bases, and no glue! They can be fully exposed to weather: sun, water, wind. You can spray them with a hose if they get dirty. They are ready to hang on built-in hooks.

I have some inventory listed below, but the best way to shop is at my studio (by appointment) ! Any flowers can be made to order. Measurements are diameter from petal tip to tip. Pickup or delivery in New Orleans, shipping could be available. I make these in my “spare time” to cover the price of home insurance in Louisiana.
