Inspired Ink – Introducing Sculpted Blooms by Momental Designs

In college I was given an assignment to create a sculpture that mimicked a naturally occurring item using unconventional materials. Being drawn to flowers since a small child digging in my Dad’s garden I immediately thought of roses. My frugal side led me to a box of scrap papers I had collected over the years. I began twisting and pinching, painting and pruning the strips of paper to form elegant little paper blooms. I have a vase of these creations on display in the studio and nearly everyday brides comment on their mysterious, edgy and elegant look. Last week I was inspired by several Vera Wang gowns and decided to create a paper bloom invite as a nod to this iconic designer. Last weeks creation inspired a full collection that I would like to introduce to you!

I found the name of the collection, “Sculpted Blooms” to be fitting since each of these flowers is entirely crafted by hand, lovingly painted and embellished with our favorite gems.
