Floral-Inspired Fiber Art Creates Bustling Bouquets That Hang on Your Walls

Floral fiber art wall hangings by Mandi Smethells

Last fall, we saw how Man­di Smethells has made it eas­i­er than ever to catch the rain­bow, thanks to her fiber art; her work fea­tures wrapped cot­ton wall hang­ings in the shape of rain­bows. Since then, she’s con­tin­ued to use these mate­ri­als but expand­ed her offer­ings with what she calls “flo­ral fiber bou­quets.” Fea­tur­ing the same wrapped-cot­ton tech­nique, she imag­ines them as stems that hold yarn pom petals. Like her rain­bows, these pieces are a unique twist on con­ven­tion. For all you less-than-green thumbs out there, this is a great way to infuse some flo­rals into your home with­out hav­ing to water them!

Man­di sells her work through Etsy.
