Better together
A wonderful set of beautiful objects of which the base can easily be reused. The base is self-made from two decorative garden stakes in flower form – they were flat when purchased. The two stakes are drilled into the wooden blocks and unfolded to make them spatial. To create even more possibilities, thick aluminum wire is incorporated through and around it – so that tubes can easily be attached to it and flowers woven through it. Zantedeschia is perfect for weaving through the frame, with the stems also participating beautifully. Talinum ‘Long John’ is processed dry here – it always dries beautifully. Furthermore, Gloriosa, some orchids, and Scabiosa are beautifully in place in these autumn objects.
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.
Garden bouquet
For the base of this hand-tied garden bouquet, a large branched head of wild dill from the roadside was used. Other flowers such as Rosa 'Darlington', Gerbera 'Pasta Rosata', Anemone 'September Charm', Gloriosa 'Rothschildiana', Lilium 'Red Velvet' and Clematis 'Star River' are incorporated into a hand-tied sheaf bouquet, the pinkish-red roses from our own garden complete the picture. The bouquet is placed in a blue luster earthenware pot. Graceful tendrils of the passionflower are wrapped around the entire bouquet, stripped Asparagus branches provide an airy effect.
Wavy
On two wooden planks, holes have been drilled at random in which copper welding wires of different lengths have been inserted to create a wave. Small glass tubes are attached to the ends with tie wraps. Stripped Asparagus branches form the airy base. Gloriosa ‘Exotic Orange’, Asclepias ‘Soulmate’, Anemone ‘September Charm’ and Briza media are inserted into the tubes.
Surprise Bouquet
The base of this surprise bouquet is a bowl made of salmon-colored aluminum wire (2 mm) using the chicken wire technique. The flowers, in burgundy, deep red, and lighter shades, are incorporated along the sides in the bowl shape of the frame, the stems also hold the frame up. A number of flowers have special shapes such as Guzmania, Phalaenopsis, chrysanthemum, Gloriosa, and Celosia. Sanguisorba, Talinum, Scabiosa, Clematis Amazing Kibo, lisianthus, Zantedeschia, and grasses are incorporated in between and along the outside.
Connection
A cylinder shape has been made from dried palm leaves, a flexible and natural material. Water tubes have been placed in this with Typha grass and Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, the stems of which are attached to the cylinder along with the shape.
