Just as Sweet
I first saw these gorgeous pieces by WaterStone Succulents on another blog, and was immediately enchanted with their style and modern elegance. While succulents are currently a decorating trend, I’ve always loved plants and have a fairly green thumb. But I was most struck by the interesting dichotomy these crafted works suggest: they are, at once, so incredibly life-like and so incredibly artificial, and I love that.
Michelle Weddle, the artist behind WaterStone Succulents, has an amazing eye for detail, and these gorgeous plants look exactly like the real thing. But by adding dramatic shades of color, like hot pink, silver, and gold, she transforms something commonly seen into a piece of art, elevating it into a treasure to be enjoyed for years.
I love the modern look of these plants in my more traditionally-styled home, and I’m looking forward to the new pieces that will be available at Waterstone Succulents very soon.
Those are gorgeous! I’d never seen them until this post. Those are amazing.
I know, don’t they look real?
That matte neon color against the white is also very appealing. This is the kind of art that begs to be touched.
She just added new pieces today and she’s featured in Real Simple in December. The plants come out of the little pots and they are very heavy. I had to put them high on my bookshelf to keep them away from little hands.
These are incredible…they look real, but like modern art! If it’s featured in Real Simple, I’m betting I’ll like it 🙂
