Powerful
A superb flower to work with is the Craspedia; they also dry nicely. However, for the final result, it is important to find spheres of the same size. They are individually placed on a 1.6 mm wire and run nicely from thin to thick towards the Craspedia sphere. The stems are individually attached to a gold-colored ring wrapped with wire – always with the same distance between the wires. Not many extra flowers and materials have been added to this powerful shape: one beautiful Ceropegia sandersonii tendril, Tillandsia dyeriana flowers, Gloriosa, and various orchids.
Sweeping
This dynamic wrist corsage features a base of Craspedia 'Paintbal Pop' and Limonium 'Max Diamond'. It is further decorated with Astrantia 'Roma', Scabiosa Bon Bon Scoop 'French Vanilla', Clematis Amazing Havanna, Helleborus 'Anna's Red', lisianthus 'Botanic Pink', Peperomia carperata, Narcissus, and Nerine.
Summer outdoor living
For a garden party in a rural atmosphere, robust and rugged is combined with refinement, soft colors, and lovely materials. For the table decoration, four aluminum wires are wrapped with straw and binding wire and attached to a glass vase with waterproof tape. Straw is wrapped around the vase with binding wire. There is a smaller vase inside the vase, which is easy to remove to refresh the floral arrangement. A half block of Oasis Bio floral foam is placed in the small, inner vase. The flowers and grasses are arranged in this: golden yellow Rosa 'Golden Lady', Craspedia globosa, feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), Panicum 'Umbrella', Panicum 'Heavy Metal', and blue love-in-a-mist.
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.
