When I was in Austin a few weeks ago, we visited a graffiti park. If you're familiar with that city, you'll relate to their motto: Keep Austin Weird. It's a great place to revel in the offbeat and marvel at the creativity that flows like water through a swollen river.
At the park I noticed that not even the plant life in the area was spared from the spray can (above). The whimsical colors sprinkled on the petals, like Fantasia fairy dust, sparked a few ideas in my own brain. I thought about creating floral centerpieces with whatever flowers could be gathered in nature. Scooping up all manner of foliage and florals, be they desirables or weeds, then dotting them with various colors and arranging them in vases might look fantastic.
It may also prove to be a less expensive floral centerpiece option, since all that's needed are a few paint colors, a willingness to pick flowers, and the patience to arrange them so that they look their best.
Why not give it a try? Got a few cans of spray paint hanging around your garage? Have access to perennials, annuals, or even weeds? Try your hand at creating your own artful arrangement. I'm going to give it a shot. If it looks okay, I'll include it in an upcoming post!
