Wearable Planters

A Wearable Planter, No. 1

A Wearable Planter, No. 3

A Wearable Planter, No. 2

Why should your plants stay at home? That's what Atlanta-based Colleen Jordan asked and why she subsequently designed these adorable wearable planters! Carry a sprout, a succulent, or a flower you found on your morning walk.

Jan Halvarson said...

ScrapBazaar said...

so cute

Rachael Sage said...

Oh wow, how could a sweet little sprout/herb/plant inspire so many negative comments? What does practical have to do with it? It's not like you sleep, shower, and go jogging with the thing on. It's a necklace!

It's absolutely vibrant! I love it. :)

flutter said...

LOL this is so cool. Not my cuppa tea. It reminds me of a girl I knew. When we were younger she was conviced that putting eggs in her bra's would make them hatch.. It's like gardening round your neck isn't it.. I am so going to share this in my next blog post.. It's wild, bizarre and absolutely so much fun.. I would wear one, maybe not doing something dramatic like mountain climbing, but I am sure i could find the right occassion to fit it in.

Yep thumbs up from me!

Anonymous said...

I have to agree with Rachael above me.. it's not like you'd wear it to sleep or to go swimming! I think it's an adorable, unique idea to wear on occasion and hang in front of your kitchen window when not on your person. :)

thezenofmaking said...

I'm always babbling on about the awesomeness of jewelry containing plants, but these necklaces are perfect examples of what living jewelry should look like!

Unknown said...

i'm pretty sure if i could put my sprig of lavender in it i'd be the happiest silly girl in town...

lesley [smidgebox] said...

reading the comments brought almost as big of a smile as the post itself! you're right, jan, if we all liked the same things, the world would be incredibly dull.

i personally think these are awesome. and i know i'd feel a lot less guilty killing a teensy mini plant in a pendant than i do when i kill the nice big plants in my house :P

Sarah K said...

I'm just not sure about it. BUT I can totally see some starlet rocking this and starting a new craze. It certainly is a unique and interesting idea!

Jan Halvarson said...

Fun to read all these comments - and Lesley - so true - I'm not much of a green thumb either.

Cool stuff art gallery said...

I think there very cool!

Molly said...

As soon as I saw these posted yesterday, I sent the link to my mom and sister - both big gardeners. They loved them. It surprises me that people think they are dumb, but I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea. They would definitely be a conversation starter!

Layers and Layers said...

two words: hippy dippy. creative? yes. silly? yes. Would i wear it? NO!

Jan Halvarson said...

Molly - that's funny! Like i said on twitter - I think these would be perfect to wear to a garden party!
: )

Caitlin said...

I think they're lovely. I've always found the old fashioned vase pins made to hold a tiny flower charming, and I love how this is a modern update to the concept.

Keri said...

Whenever I'm trying to grow a plant I usually end up with fruit flies or a small worm....that wouldn't be so cute around my neck! ewwww!!

noona said...
