The Flowery Depths

Zuda Gay Pease is a grandmother who lives in Illinois and creates these incredible flowers that seem to have so much depth and complexity to them. But if you look closely, they aren’t so much complex as unexpected.

The caned petals aren’t simply sliced but also cut and sculpted. This gives them a depth and tactile surface I don’t think you’d find anywhere in nature but they seem to be perfectly natural regardless.

    Her flowers are wonderful!Very pleasing to the eye. Interesting observation about them being unexpected.

    The impression it gives is so real that I don’t even notice that the center is just a button. I can totally imagine these growing all over a plant in my garden. Thank you for sharing. Her other flowers are even more interesting. Did you see the sunflower on her Flickr? Oh so cool!

    I have four of her flowers. They are even more gorgeous in person!
