Flower Bouquet, P034-MX, $150 New Arrival!

There is an old saying about necessity being the mother of invention.  I think necessity can be also the source of inspiration.   Using seeds, seeds found in the trees of her backyard or in the peppers she uses to cook that may otherwise be tossed to the wind or trashed, Bertha Fernandez has developed a sophisticated form of seed art.

Her seed pictures are very original and distinctive.   Each pistachio, sunflower, pepper sour sop or melon seed is treated and then glued into an elegant picture.  Your wall will come to live with this art.
