Inspiration

A Radical Flower Movement in Bloomsbury 2013

 

Looking back to the days when families living in Bloomsbury slums were encouraged by Haddon Parks to grow geraniums in window boxes, to improve polluted air quality. He then showcased them in a festival that would inspire the visitors to make a positive change in their own lives, resulting in a glorious atmosphere.

I had the idea to recreate this in the shop window with specially designed Floral decoupage plates for the Bloomsbury Festival that happened a couple of weeks ago. Next year we plan to get the whole street involved. The results might be riotous on the eyes.
