My editor received a great email yesterday from a woman named Lilit. She runs a flower shop in California with her mom and she shared some pictures of work they’ve created that were inspired by my designs (plus the picture above of her and me at an industry event). She said, “When we create something that is one of a kind or exceptional we always say, ‘You created a Preston.’”
This totally made my day!
What a great phrase, and what a nice thing to share with me. I really appreciate that my work has inspired other designers to create something unique and interesting. Here’s a picture of an amazing Gummi bear chandelier Lilit created. She said, “The Gummi Bear Chandelier (made entirely of real Gummi bears) was my own interpretation of taking one unexpected element and repeating it to create something new.” Go Lilit!
I’d definitely love to hear from more of you out there who have "created a Preston." Email any pictures you have along with your thoughts to my editor: Karell@prestonbailey.com. Occasionally, I’ll post them here so we can share the inspiration with everyone. If we get enough feedback it may become a regular series on my blog. Thanks again Lilit and keep at it.

Wow! I saw Lilit's work at a wedding and had to find her so I went to her shop Sky Flowers in Los Angeles and was just blown away. I am so happy that Preston got to see her work. Go Lilit!
ReplyDeleteI came across Sky Flowers in 2005, and must I say it was love at first sight! Over the years this shop has grown with the ideas of Lilit. Her creations (along with her mother's help and other inspirations- Preston) have made it irresistible! Sky Flowers is unlike any other shop. Once you become a customer, Lilit and Olga will remember what you like and will make sure your next arrangement satisfies you. I recommend Sky Flowers to anyone I know. I am still waiting for the man of my life to propose to me so Lilit can plan and create my dream wedding! If you have ever in the Los Angeles area make sure you visit SKY FLOWERS! This is a 5 star flower shop!
ReplyDeleteThe gummy bear chandelier is gorgeous and quite unique, not to mention yummy. Love the creativity. You go, Lilit!
