Winter Fairy Tale
The base consists of a reused wooden mirror frame. Small holes were drilled in the wooden ring into which satay sticks were then inserted and secured using the clamping technique. String was then woven between the sticks for a beautiful transparent 3D effect. Pine cones and baubles were glued onto the wooden ring, water carriers, containing Clematis, spray roses and Cymbidium, and the decorative wooden elements were attached to the satay sticks. The whole is finished with Pinus sprigs and a touch of powdered snow for a fairytale winter atmosphere.
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.
Sweet and sour summers
Delicate stems of dried pan reed rise from a sturdy, robust concrete base. The reed stems form a grid of composed verticality. On this rest earthy organic forms of handmade paper from which an explosion of color springs; golden yellow dill, yellow-green Cymbidium, and bright orange Tagetes and slipper flower (Calceolaria). The flowers are placed in glass balls with a layer of handmade paper on top. At the base of this sweet and sour spectacle lie lemons and oranges for even more summer atmosphere.
Pampas grass jacket
The base of this natural vase is
a number of Paperweb bouquet holders
that have been crafted into a vase shape with
an Oasis Lady placed centrally.
The shape is covered with plastic foil,
then pasted with pampas grass and
attached to an iron stand that
has been pre-covered with banana leaf.
White Cymbidium orchids and carnations
are inserted into the floral foam
– the flowers are, as it were,
cherished by the grass.
The whole is finished with cotton fluff
(Gossypium), white Limonium
and Acacia twigs – which creates a
playful counter-movement.
Cymbidium bell jar
In two glass containers, layers of Oasis Terrabrick Floral
Media have been applied. Carefully pour some water over it until
the floral medium is just below water level. Arrange the Cymbidium
flowers and cotton wool branches (Gossypium) in the container and
wedge them together. The beautiful Cymbidium comes into its own
in this combination with the cotton wool branches.
Trendy natural scene
On two biodegradable banana leaf dishes, a block of floral foam is placed, the sides of which are covered with leaves of Aristolochia. Subsequently, the position of the Cymbidium is first determined. Artemisia and some cotton flowers (Gossypium) are placed in between. Subsequently, chestnuts placed on toothpicks and Miscanthus – with Aristolochia leaf rolled over the stems – are incorporated into the arrangement. ‘The bronze-colored Cymbidium fits in perfectly with the autumn trend in terms of color. In this trend, the collection and study of objects or materials from nature is also important. In this arrangement, material colors are constantly reflected in the flowers used – the dark chestnuts, the bronze sheen on the Miscanthus plumes, the light-colored cotton flowers.’
