Tendril
Coconut palm bark is folded into a robust bowl; it acts as a stitching medium for red and green Amaranthus. Winding tendrils of vine (Ampelopsis) snake across the whole.
Grass Circle
On a black bowl rests an orchid root ball with floral foam blocks underneath. Fragile species drink from water tubes placed between the roots, the remaining materials are inserted through the root ball in OASIS Floral Foam. Flowers and grasses used: Cymbidium, Chasmanthium, Calamagrostis, Sorghum, Rudbeckia and Amaranthus.
Airy layering
This bouquet is constructed using two techniques that reinforce each other. The whimsical stems of Asparagus falcatus 'Wild' are set on wire and form an airy framework. In between, the long spikes of Amaranthus caudatus 'Rosary' give the arrangement graceful movement, the long stems standing in water. Loose flowers of Phalaenopsis are, with cold glue, subtly attached.
In our hearts
An OASIS® Eychenne All Black heart is fully lined with partially overlapping, spent sunflower (Helianthus annuus) hearts for an understated, tactile skin. Soft lines of green hanging Amaranthus emphasize the silhouette. Airy bladders of Cardiospermum halicacabum 'Love in a Puff' lighten the symbolism.
Wheel of remembrance
A stripped, painted black bicycle wheel rim is attached to a peg with a solid gravel stone underneath, forming a graphic statement. Through the holes of the spokes, black iron wires are stretched with glass tubes attached. In these, a playful rhythm of hanging and ascending lines is created; the green and white color scheme keeps the image serene and light.
Materials used: various white roses, hanging Amaranthus, branches of Rosa 'Corallo' and hollyhock tendrils with pods (Raphanus raphanistrum).
Lush
This arrangement, set in a modern tulip vase by Mobach, evokes the lush abundance of Dutch Golden Age still lifes while embracing a contemporary aesthetic. Large, open blooms are arranged in rich variety, with a striking color gradient that flows from deep purples through pinks to peach, fuch
sia, red, and even a touch of orange. These vibrant hues mirror the unique glaze of the vase, creating a cohesive and expressive composition. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the luxurious mood, giving this modern still life both depth and drama.
