Artist creates intricate fairy dresses from real flower petals
(Web Desk) - Momotsuki, a 20-year-old artist from Japan, blends her love of gardening and fantasy into a unique art form she calls named “Fairy Dress”.
Flowers make perfect dresses for fairies, but you need skill and imagination to turn them into functional garments, which Momotsuki, the talented artist behind the Fairy Dress brand, has plenty of. The 20-year-old woman, a passionate gardener with over 14 years of experience, had the brilliant idea to combine her love of plants with her love of fantasy, particularly fairies. She makes beautiful dresses out of flowers like pansies, morning glories, roses, and carnations that any fairy would consider lucky to wear.
“I ve been gardening since I was a child for about 14 years, and over time I ve gradually increased the number of plants,” Momotsuki recently told Bored Panda. “I ve always admired the fantasy world, and when I saw the existence of fairies, I thought, this, for some reason, makes me emotional “.
Most of the flowers used in the whimsical fairy dresses are from Momotsuki s garden, with a few notable exceptions. With permission, she occasionally uses wilting store-bought flowers, flowers discarded on the street, or fallen flowers collected from someone else s garden.
“I also pick flowers that appear to be damaged and will fall off in a day s time, or flowers with petals that fall apart and scatter when I touch them,” the artist writes on her website.
“I also cut off some of the flowers damaged and discoloured petals to make them look beautiful, and I sometimes pick up flowers that have fallen or broken off in the wind or rain to make the dresses.”
Momotsuki created her first fairy dress in April 2021, according to the Fairy Dress website. She was walking in her garden while recovering from depression when she saw a flower and immediately thought of a delicate garment. She apparently stuck with it because it turned out so well.
A month later, she posted photos on Twitter of a fairy dress made of roses, ivy, periwinkle, and hydrangea, which received 180,000 likes. The artist was featured in several television segments as a result of online attention. Since then, her brand has grown.
“For me, fairy dresses began as a hobby that I pursued on my own. Many people told me that the fairy dresses had healing properties, so I gradually began making them with prayers in my heart,” Momotsuki explains. “Even if you don t like the fairy dresses, there s something about them that will gently support you subconsciously.”
