Flower Power {Carnival Sculpture}

 

Remember yesterday’s post on the Magazine Street Blues Festival? You know I could not leave with one but two carnival flowers by art vendor Carnival Sculpture.

I could not wait to get them home as I knew exactly where they would go. I hung each on the large post in the open area at the rear of the house. I converted the large post into a message center simply with chalkboard paint.

I purchased the large red bloom and a smaller green one. I am ordering another larger yellow one with leaves to add to an open space atop the bar in the kitchen.

I have wanted one of these large blooms since dining at the home of Bryan Batt (of Mad Men and Hazelnut fame) and Tom Cianfichi. Bryan has a beautiful one that fell off a parade float years ago. It hung prominently in his dining room, and I was in love with it as soon as I saw it. You see, if you love Mardi Gras like I do, these blooms adorn the fancier floats in the great traditional parades.

Here is Bryan Batt’s one hanging his his former dining room:

Here are my two hanging on the chalkboard post:
