I first saw these gorgeous pieces by WaterStone Succulents<\/a> on another blog, and was immediately enchanted with their style and modern elegance.\u00a0 While succulents are currently a decorating trend, I’ve always loved plants and have a fairly green thumb.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Michelle Weddle, the artist behind WaterStone Succulents, has an amazing eye for detail, and these gorgeous plants look exactly like the real thing.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
