Circle of Life
A sophisticated and meaningful arrangement constructed in an elegant gold-colored circle that symbolizes the infinite cycle of life. In creating this arrangement, bindwire, wire and cold glue were used to attach the materials in a subtle and careful manner. The flowers used - waxflower (Chamelaucium uncinatum), Tillandsia, Helleborus, Rhipsalis and Chrysanthemum - make it a harmonious arrangement with a contemporary romantic look.
Reflection
This bridal bouquet incorporates two botanical materials. The branches are made of pierced pieces of Cornus joined into a new shape by aluminum wire (1 mm). The branched branches are tied in an open shape, flowers of Helleborus 'Mammoth Red' are glued to the ends.
Cycle
For this base, a vase three-quarters filled with Oasis Floral Foam Bio for the heavy stems, the top part of the vase is filled with Oasis TerraBrick for the softer stems and a nice finish. The base is made of dried sunflowers and dried-in roadside flowers from last summer. Through this frame 'grow' the tulips, Clematis Amazing Seville, Sanguisorba 'Red Dream', Talinum 'Long John', Chaenomeles, Fritillaria meleagris, Geranium, Hamamelis, Helleborus 'Bella Belles', Ranunculus and Polianthes tuberosa. All materials are staked in a natural-looking parallel fashion.
Growing up
In a large bowl of water, short thick branches of elder (Sambucus) are connected by black pokes (1.8 mm). This frame remains independent, in the resulting gaps tulips, hyacinths, Helleborus 'Bella Belles' and Ranunculus can easily be inserted directly into the water. The materials are processed to allow the flowers to grow, so that the arrangement becomes more and more beautiful over time.
Still Life
In two elegant pots, filled with Oasis Floral Foam Bio, a carpet pad of Gypsophila 'Million Daisy' is briefly inserted. From this base come various beautiful white and cream spring flowers such as Clematis Amazing Vienna, Narcissus, Ranunculus, Tulipa, Anemone, Fritillaria meleagris, Agapanthus, Helleborus, Nerine and Polianthes tuberosa 'Elsa Blush'.
Christmas Balls
For this cheerful trio, three Styrofoam
balls were wrapped with red
wool - the wool is glued at several
crucial points glued on. Inside the
styrofoam ball, a stitching tube is
pricked and filled with flowers:
Helleborus and Cyclamen. For
an extra Christmas accent there are
some sprigs of Nobilis and Ilex
and some wax apples
tucked into the Styrofoam.
