Viva violet
An Oasis Ideal sphere is placed on a bamboo stick for reinforcement and placed in a black vase. All materials are inserted on this; Hydrangea, Asteraceae, Nicandra physalodes, Viburnum, Vitis, Nigella, Setaria italica, bramble and Wisteria (2nd bloom in autumn).
Mysterious Autumn
The bamboo stick is placed on an iron pin, and the two wreaths, Oasis Naylorbase ring (Ø 25cm), are attached to each other with waterproof tape, creating depth. The sides are covered with Populus alba leaves. A thin layer of Tillandsia is placed on both wreaths, after which the whole is filled with poppy seed heads. The crocheted spider web is made of metallic sewing thread and attached to the back with waterproof tape. A very small, subtle tendril has been added as a finishing touch.
Long lasting
Inspired by the early autumn morning. The base is an Oasis Eychenne All Black cushion (Ø 50cm) whose edge is covered with plastic tape, after which oats (Avena sativa) are clamped and tied behind rope. Then, the thin birch branches are placed, and all materials, including Papaver somniferum, Scabiosa stellata, rapeseed, globe thistle, wheat, and ground elder, are inserted into the oasis. The Miscanthus protrudes above the birch branches. As a finish, ornamental fruits, sunflower hearts, and loose leaves are applied. All materials dry nicely.
Wind spinner
Straw is wrapped around a sturdy iron wire with binding wire, and then it is twisted around a sturdy tube to create a spiral shape. Nicandra and Malva are individually wrapped together with bullion wire, sweet chestnut husks are wrapped with rope and then knotted to rope, and Raphanus is threaded onto binding wire. All these strands are fastened to the spiral shape with raffia. The Eryngium is glued onto the spiral, with Tillandsia applied underneath here and there.
Mushroom hat
This autumn bouquet is inspired by the cap of a mushroom. 'A free interpretation, admittedly.' A frame made of welding rods, subsequently wrapped with Oasis Rustic Wire, serves as the base. The flowers – Gloriosa, Kniphofia, Crocosmia, and tendrils of Rosa 'Smeralda' – are woven through the frame, with some flowers incorporated inside the frame. This creates depth in the bouquet. The stems are deliberately left long so that the whole looks like a kind of mushroom.
Playful
In a beautifully mossy piece of cork, holes have been drilled in which Craspedia has been inserted, increasing in length. Various materials that dry nicely have been glued onto the cork: seed pods of Eucalyptus ‘Bellgum’, rose hips, and prepared oak leaves. To give the whole of this longer-lasting arrangement on cork a playful character, grasses have been clamped between the glued materials.
