Stillness
An Oasis Venezia Bowl is placed in a polystyrene form and the
outside is covered with lichen. Oasis cold glue was used for this because
hot glue often 'eats away' the polystyrene. A wig of Calocephalus green
is inserted into the Venezia bowl. Polianthes 'Elsa', Astrantia, and the white Agapanthus 'Gletsjer' are inserted between this beautiful base. Scutellaria
'Tinkerbell' and beautiful Clematis plumes give the whole arrangement a lovely accent.
Square felt
A warm winter table arrangement for
long evenings of dining with friends or
family. A base made of a
polystyrene packaging is covered with square
pieces of felt. Sticks of
pitriet are horizontally inserted in the round shape. In between
these, Oasis acrylic tubes and small flowers
are attached. The beautiful Helleborus
flowers form the base with
the Scabiosa floating above.
Astrantia, Clematis ‘Amazing
Sevilla’, Clematis ‘Amazing
Kibo’ fluff and Sanguisorba
‘Red Dream’ complete the
color palette.
Winter garden
In an iconic aluminum spout vase, a base with
mossy Larix branches is arranged in the
sloping openings of the spouts. In between
diverse flower species in different white
shades; Polianthes ‘Elsa’, Agapanthus
‘Gletsjer’, Clematis ‘Amazing Sevilla’ and
Clematis ‘Amazing Kibo’ fluff. The black
grass, Pennisetum ‘Black Fox’, connects the
black vase with the Larix branches and the flowers.
Cherished between bark
Metal rods, drilled into a wooden block, hold two half columns
of bark in place. Cymbidium can only play a leading role, because
both branches and flowers are very dominant – the position is carefully
determined, the branches are secured with small staples, after which the glass
water tubes are slid over the stems. A sturdy Aristolochia tendril
is, accompanied by a Clematis fluff tendril, attached to the bark
and creates movement. The beautiful faded Allium
bulbs, a symbol of transience, are with
fine threads attached to the stems.
In this arrangement, the Cymbidium towers
above the open bark columns,
accompanied by the counter-movement of
the tendrils, which in this way
create balance.
Playful contrasts
A half square of brown painted insulation material is covered with Cotinus leaves in a roof tile pattern – which dries nicely. All
leaves are folded in half just above the vein – the horizontal vein line remains visible – and attached with double-sided tape.
The covered shape is placed in an iron frame, with narrow, vertical lines created in the square shape using unlacquered thick iron wire
on which squares of dried cobra leaf are glued. As a contrast, a wavy structure of dark brown rustic wire is
secured horizontally. The orchids, Aristolochia tendrils, Clematis fluff, and some greenish-yellow aspen
leaves (Populus alba) hang in this structure. The colors of the other materials are reflected in the Vanda orchids, mirroring the outdoor atmosphere
of autumn-winter. ‘Clear contrasts always work well in an arrangement: such as open-closed, light-dark, living-dead.’
Floating star
A ready-made large and a small star are attached to each other at five points
by means of short tonkin sticks so that some space is created between the stars.
The double star is attached to various thick
aluminum wires wrapped with rope. This base is bent and fixed in the vase with hydro granules.
Nobilis and Calocephalus
brownii are incorporated into the space between the two stars with hot glue. Clematis
fluff tendrils are attached over it as a base with sturdy wire. White thistle and Ornitogalum flowers are glued with cold glue.
Cape green buds placed on bouillon wire form a garland that hangs down with the
line in the arrangement. Finally, white snowberry is incorporated
