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.
Nesting place
In early spring, life returns: birds sing, flower bulbs emerge, buds burst forth. This egg-shaped nest is the embodiment of a cozy place where small living creatures can nest or take shelter. The base is a balloon to which Compactuna has been applied. Subsequently, the balloon is wrapped in mustard yellow rope, leaving an opening. After thorough drying, the rope hardens, and the nest can be placed on a gold-colored metal pin with a base. The spring flowers are processed in Oasis Bio floral foam. Flowers used: Hyacinthus, Muscari, Rosa, Dianthus, Limonium, Clematis, and Mentha.
Wonder
It is fascinating how an egg breaks open and new life emerges from it. This creation symbolizes that wonder. The base is a polystyrene hemisphere on which a (duck) egg is first placed centrally. Quail eggs are then glued around this egg. The polystyrene serves as a mold and is removed after gluing. A piece of Oasis Bio floral foam is placed on a dish – the hemisphere with quail eggs is placed on top of this. A variety of spring flowers are then inserted into the floral foam. Flowers used: Clematis, Muscari, Scabiosa, Delphinium, Achillea and Limonium.
Grown together
Salix branches bent into a U-shape are fixed with 1.8mm braided wire. A refined selection of flowers is placed at different heights in this frame and tied in a sheaf: Chaenomeles, Nerine, Gloriosa superba ‘Simba Fifty Shades’, Ranunculus ‘Butterfly’, Scabiosa ‘Bon Bon Scoop French Vanilla’, Talinum ‘Long John’, Tulipa jonquieres, Panicum ‘Heavy Metal’ and Limonium ‘China White’.
Stately
The base is a dish with two blocks of bio floral foam on which a layer of Eleagnus leaves is first pinned with display pins. Various grasses, including Chasmanthium 'Mantis', are processed on top of this. Yellow Cornus branches are incorporated over this. Limonium 'China White' and Scutellaria 'Tinkerbell' are woven through the resulting frame. To make the green-yellow color interesting, two groups of Alchemilla mollis 'Robustica' have been added. This gives light and brings the whole to life. All plant materials are in the water in the dish, or are inserted into the bio floral foam.
Small flower garden
Different types of flowers are inserted at various heights on an Oasis Ecobase ring (Ø 30cm). The side of the floral foam is finished with dried banana leaf. Materials used: Eustoma ‘Falda Apricot’, Viburnum ‘Staalbes’, Clematis ‘Blue Pirouette’, wild oats (Avena Sterilis), Campanula ‘Champion Lave’, Dianthus ‘Baccarat Purple’, Ranunculus ‘Su Lady’, Salix ‘Pink Cushion’, Dianthus ‘Lege Pink’, Ornithogalum ‘Sunshine’, Limonium ‘Lucia Pink’ and cherry blossom.
