ANYWAY, my intern Trisha Zemp, approached me about doing a project made of corn somehow and she suggested corn husks. Yumm, sure? I started experimenting with them and then thought, "Wait, is my life supposed to be dedicated to corn husks?" They're dreamy. They hold a shape that paper cannot replicate, you can manipulate them to do anything, they've got a lovely grain. I worked until 3am creating petal after petal. Guys, it's all about corn husks!
I've done a few since them for this and that and I'll show you a bit of what I've been doing here. I added some into a paper flower bouquet, second picture from the top, I was hired to create for someone retiring and created a corn husk hat for another shoot which I'll show when it comes out.
And THEN, Trisha had the idea to create a little stop motion. You know, the genesis of the corn husk flower. It's only natural. Isn't it adorable?
More DIY corn husk projects on their way. I know you're stoked.
