Comic book bouquets and boutonnieres
by Rusty Blazenhoff from on (#3JDVH)
Ooo, betrothed comic book nerds, this one's for you. Mallory McKenney of Wisconsin makes wedding bouquets and boutonnieres by cutting up upcycled comics. From Batman to the Wolverine, and just about any character in between, the Milwaukee crafter can whip up something super for your big day.
Before you get all up in arms about the comics she's chopping up, Mallory's husband Nick explains her source, "...she actually buys damaged comic books for super cheap from a couple comic book stores here in Milwaukee, so she's definitely not using ones that anyone would want otherwise. The only real exceptions are if people request really specific comic books or characters that aren't super popular and didn't appear in too many issues."
She sells her creations in her Etsy shop, glamMKE. Prices start at $10 (for a single flower) and go up to $200 (something for the entire wedding party).
