Carin Smith

Me: Hi there, I'm Carin, a crafter, maker and lover of all things pretty.

I'm also a stylist who works for a craft magazine, a creator of paper flowers  and a drawer of flower inspired illustrations.

 

About my flowers: I hand make each of my flowers individually so they're all unique and slightly imperfect. The petals are also hand dyed, either with ink, waterpaint or with vegetables. I use strawberries, beetroot, berries, tea and even red onion. Each flower is made with either paper, crepe, tissue, fabric and come on a dowel stick or branch stem.

 

My flowers are well traveled and have featured in print, at weddings and at events. They get around a bit.

 

I offer a bespoke service  - so can make any kind of flower you need.

 

I live by the motto:

 

"flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world - Ralph Waldo Emerson
