One might think the following handcrafted nature-inspired dresses, would soon disintegrate if made from flowers and leaves?
Not so, for artist Susan Lenz made her dresses for the upcoming fourth annual Columbia Design Leagues' Runaway Runway fashion show, using artificial recycled flowers and leaves collected from local cemetery dumpsters and trash cans.
More on Susan's blog here. Best of luck to her for the fashion show!

fascinating! so creative - thanks for sharing.
WOW!! Those dresses are very COOL!
I would totally wear one, but make sure to steer clear of any bee hives!
Exquisite. And so interesting the history and emotions behind each flower.
Oh lordy, I'll have to continue my spare-flower hoarding for a decade so I can make one of these awesome creations! xo
Wow! That is a very interesting concept and idea! I really love the all-green one; quite exquisite, just like something out of a fairy tale...
These are gorgeous! That's a really unique concept for reusing something.
