Aunt peaches

Hi! I’m Amanda, also known as Peaches or Aunt Peaches. I’m an artist, maker, and hardcore sequin enthusiast. I sit in my studio and people pay me to make pretty things because it’s what I do best. And yes, it is awesome. My creative efforts can be found across all forms of major media and...Read More

It occurred to me that with all the hustle and bustle in December, I never took the time to take you guys on a tour of my holiday decorations. Last year they weren’t that much to look at on account of the recent move, but this year they were pretty swank (if I do say...Read More

Remember that time when you had nothing else to do two weeks before Christmas and spent hours lovingly painting gift wrap for your friends and family? No?

I have been cookie swapping with a handful of former co-workers for...Read More

(2011) Imagine a big bang, a firework of flower seeds thrown into space. What would happen? New fragile flowers arise, new flower planets start evolving, planets where no one has ever been. These detailed landscapes seem to be elevated so you can walk through them. Weeds become poetry, each unique twig gets attention, nature seems to float. Flower constructions are 3 dimensional collages from pressed flowers and cut out flower pictures. Each element is meticulously placed on pins which…

I went to a crafternoon with some friends this last weekend. There were flowers, and Tacky Glue, and Miss Patty’s dinosaur cheese dip. Hurrah! Fun was had by all, particularly me, because I didn’t have to make any of it. I did supply the idea though – making three dimensional floral arrangements out of two-dimensional...Read More
