Clay Botanicals

I've long wished for artistic ability.  The truth is that I just have none.  I'm a creative black hole.  


... but even my inner artist is shocked by these realistic clay flowers.  


Recently, I spent a mini weekend in Paducah Kentucky (LOVE) and at J. Nichols Clay Botanicals.  All photos are used with permission by Paducah Photographer, Brad Rankin.


Jimy Nichols creates these breathtaking florals out of Kentucky-Tennessee clay.  He makes each element, including the pot.

Can you even believe these details?

Tulip.  I'm in love.

If you are anywhere within a days drive of Paducah, Kentucky - go now and go often.  It's amazing.  The energy is like no other place I've experienced.
