All
Dried Up Designs is a collaboration by three local Arizona artists.
Our pieces are all “one of a kind” using vegetation found in
our Arizona desert. Each
container is made from handmade paper crafted by Lydia Miszuk, paper
artist. The paper is
created by an extensive process using such plants as sunflowers,
tumbleweed, and palm fronds, just to name a few.
Lydia has lived in Phoenix since childhood.
She earned her BFA in fiber arts from Arizona State University
and is the owner of Miszuk Arts.
All the designs are a composite of items found locally, hand
selected and carefully arranged to display a piece of the desert.
An arrangement may contain date stems, a variety of seed pods,
cactus wood, eucalyptus bark and leaves and dried flowers.
Peggy Solene, floral designer, and Diana Cazel, creative
designer, then completes each arrangement.
Peggy and Diana both reside in Chandler, Arizona.
