FloralSteam - Powertex South West Scotland

05/08/2026

✨ From Worn Out to Work of Art ✨

This old boot was destined for the bin… but I saw something more.

Using layers of Powertex, recycled materials and a touch of imagination, it’s been transformed into a one-of-a-kind FloralSteam creation. Rich blue-green and copper tones, vintage clocks, gears, delicate butterflies, textured fabrics, hand-painted roses and even old paintbrushes bursting from the top tell the story of a life well lived. Every detail has been carefully placed, turning something forgotten into a beautiful statement piece.

I love giving discarded objects a second chance and proving that creativity can be found in the most unexpected places. 💚

Fancy creating your own unique boot sculpture? 👢
Workshop dates will be announced soon, so keep an eye on my page!

💚 Creativity is Good for the Soul

Life gets busy.

Sometimes we all need a few hours to slow down, switch off and simply enjoy creating.

That’s exactly what my workshops are all about.

When was the last time you did something just for you?
