Eco-Elegant Flowers & Gourmet Gifts
Organic Bouquet has been offering sustainably grown flowers fresh from our partner farms since 2001. We expanded our product line to include eco-elegant gifts, organic chocolates and more! We aim high in everything we do, from our relationships with our partner artisans and growers to our adherence to rigorous U.S. and international sustainability standards. We obtain our products from companies who provide safe and just working conditions and a livable wage, and partner with artisans and farmers who re-invest in their communities and take pride in their craftsmanship.
We also are proud to offer the brand Organic Style which, in addition to eco-elegant flowers, offers a whole range of other items like gourmet gift baskets, décor for the green home, eco-chic apparel and natural pet products. One thing they both have in common though, Organic Style and Organic Bouquet are eco-friendly and green!

  About the Artist Encaustic paint is made from pure pigment and a mixture of molten beeswax and damar resin. The paint is applied hot with a variety of tool, then cools and hardens within seconds. The process is quite seductive, tactile, and sultry. Painting with hot wax results in a velvety matte finish, like the frosting on a donut. The most amazing thing about encaustic, is the endless versatility. Multiple layers of paint and clear wax create overlapping color and amazing depth. The medium can be textured, scraped, incised, etched, combed, embossed, sculpted into three dimensional bits or smoothed to a glassy finish. The molten nature of the medium just begs to be used for collaging or imbedding mixed media into the wax.Since beeswax is compatible with oil paint, oil pigment sticks can be used to glaze in rich color or to fill in incised markings.Even though this is a new medium for me Encaustic Painting Is Older Than Oil Painting. Although it seems new, encaustic is actually one of the world’s most ancient and archival painting mediums, predating oil paint. The Fayum portraits from Grego-Roman Egypt, circa 100 B.C. to 200 A.D., have survived through the centuries. Encaustic was a lost art until pioneer Jasper Johns began contemporary encaustic painting in 1954, exposing it to a new generation of artists. Encaustic painting requires very particular materials and equipment like heat guns, blow torches, tacking irons, crock pots and electric griddles. New tools are constantly being discovered and because this is new to me, I use items I find in hardware and kitchen supply stores, plus whatever I have around my own kitchen. All items are subject to prior sale, price change, withdrawal, errors and ommissions. |
