Emily Isabella’s Adorable Portraits Use Real Flowers for Their Hairdos

Milk­weed knows she’s attractive.

Paint­ing and flow­ers, sep­a­rate­ly, are two won­der­ful things. But, bet­ter yet, Emi­ly Isabel­la com­bines both of ’em with her Plant Peo­ple. She paints their faces and wardrobes and uses a myr­i­ad of flow­ers for their hair­styles. We see small, del­i­cate pods as well as larg­er, broad petals that sig­ni­fy longer locks. I love how the blooms are arranged just so, and it allows her to mim­ic the shape of hair well.

Each image is accom­pa­nied with a curi­ous sen­tence describ­ing the per­son. I’ve includ­ed them, too!
