They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Her Reflection Looks Concerned


We mentioned a little while ago that friend of BME Meg Barber was doing a short guest-spot tour before packing up for sunny Los Angeles, and as luck would have it, she decided to check in with this lovely plumeria blossom cutting she did while in scenic Cincinnati, Ohio. Great placement, clean design, crisp lines…I thought about giving it either an A or an A+, but I completely forgot that there’s an A++.

    i’m really not that impressed with the design though, among other things.

    not a bad cutting, but just not an a++ one.

    Meg does great cuttings.
    Who cares what the design is, as long as the wearer loves it!!!!
    I wish I was closer and/or could afford a trip to get her to cut me, she’s awesome and (attempted helpful plug) i know she needs could really use the business. If you like her work, go check her IAM page for info!!!

    I really love the design! I’m not into really floral images but this is nice and subtle. A++ is right.

    Once again nice to see a good cutting. Although the flowers remind me of the carrot-cut flowers you get at some restaurants 😛
