When George Bernard Shaw said, “Imagination is the beginning of creation.” maybe he already knew that Cathy Van Hoang would be a stellar example of that belief.

Los Angeles based designer and art director Cathy Van Hoang pretty much revolutionized indoor gardening when she created Jellyfish Air Plants. Well, truthfully though, she did not use real jellyfish for it! She had a novel idea of using stunning urchin shells and attaching air plants to them.

When hung or kept on a surface, these little creations look like glorious jellyfish which you can't stop admiring! Cathy sells these Jellyfish Air Plants in her Etsy shop, Petit Beast.

Intrigued by the name Petit Beast? Advertising

“Each plant is really unique,” Cathy says, “it's almost as if they have their own identity and personality. I like to think of them as pets. They're little beasts that I adopt, care for, raise, and then send out into the world! So, the name Petit Beast was a natural fit for the shop.”

If, like me, you want to try your hand at making some of these surreal art pieces yourself, you can find some ideas here.

But for now, you can just sigh at these beauties.

1. The rich magenta hues are nothing short of ethereal.
