Prickly
A polystyrene ball is wrapped with red wool, leaving
space so that the approximately one hundred tonkin sticks can be inserted between them. The tonkin sticks were sprayed red – in a quick movement – and then subtly sprinkled with glitter while the paint was still wet. A number of small Christmas baubles are glued into the heart. Finally, the Nerine and Gloriosa are inserted on floral tubes between the 'Corallo' rose hips.
Natural wreaths
For the base of each of these wreaths, a polystyrene ring is
used on which prepared foliage is glued with hot glue.
A layer of bullion wire is wrapped around the foliage for
decoration - it also ensures that the foliage stays nicely
within the shape everywhere. All materials are glued with hot
glue, including a number of Christmas baubles upside down
so that they can also serve as water carriers for Gloriosa
and a number of small Phalaenopsis and Nerine flowers.
Golden drops
These golden drops can serve as
alternative Christmas trees, but they are also
very beautiful as objects. The stunning bases
are made of 5 mm thick gold-colored
aluminum wire wrapped with gold-colored
bouillon wire and can be re-arranged many times.
Gold-colored Ginkgo leaves and Christmas balls
have been used. Gloriosa and Bromelia flowers
are incorporated in a glass tube.
Distinctly winter
This hand-tied sheaf bouquet proves that you don't have to shy away from bold colors even in winter. Beautiful Scabiosa from the Scoop series, together with Gloriosa superba, forms a warm base and contrasts beautifully with the yellow accent of Limonium 'Max Diamond'. The purple Clematis also adds a beautiful color accent. The warm appearance of the gold-colored pot completes the picture.
3D Botanical painting
The basic forms of this arrangement are the frames of Polygonum branches
– four equal stems cut at an angle are connected to each other by
sliding four folded thick wires into them. Oasis is placed in the rectangular
container. A wooden frame is wrapped with wrapping wire and attached to the
base. The Polygonum frames are attached to these wires.
This creates a construction between which the rosehip
branches are clamped. The arrangement is finished with
Gloriosa, Leucospermum (Nutans) and short rosehips
– an orange color palette was chosen for this,
in pale and dark shades. The rose hips
and Leucospermum have a strong appearance.
Gloriosa provides contrast
and symbolizes fragility.
In Balance
For the base, a vase has been chosen in the same colors as the
arrangement. Subsequently, six black pokes are wrapped
with brown painter's tape, inserted into an Oasis Bio wreath and
bent and secured so that the wreath is higher on one side. The six
pokes are tied to a binding point so that they fit well in and
on the vase. Subsequently, dark brown rustic wire is wrapped
around the wreath in large strokes and secured downwards in a
waterfall shape.
First, the pink hydrangea and lisianthus varieties,
'Sabrina Orange' and 'Terracotta', are inserted. Subsequently, 'air'
is created with the other flowers: orange Gloriosa, hanging
Amaranthus, rosehip 'Zaffiro', Anthurium, orange spray
chrysanthemum, salmon-colored spray rose, Syngonium leaf, Rosa
'Esmeralda' and disbudded chrysanthemum. All flowers follow
the line of the waterfall-shaped construction. All tendrils and
long flower stems are additionally secured with binding wire.
