Elegant summer
Matching the transparent undulating form, fragile lines and delicate white/green materials were chosen to create a refined balance
create. For the base, twelve welding wires (Ø 1.8mm) were attached and bent into a white wooden plant table. Thin tights (20 denier) were then pulled over the wires and secured at the bottom with cold glue. The whole thing was lightened up a bit with white spray paint. Along the edges, glass tubes and globe vases were secured with Poly Max and then made up with white flowers and greenery: Nigella damascena 'Bridal White' (damsel-in-
't-green), Scabiosa Scoob White, white Ixia and Delphinium, Platycerium bifurcatum (staghorn fern), Aristolochia tendrils and Tillandsia plants
Viva violet
An Oasis Ideal bulb was placed on a bamboo stick for reinforcement and placed in a black vase. On this are staked all the materials; Hydrangea, Asteraceae, Nicandra physalodes, Viburnum, Vitis, Nigella, Setaria italica, blackberry and Wisteria (2nd bloom in autumn).
Pure Natural
This hand-tied 'wild' bouquet consists of few materials: fresh Ammi visnaga 'Casablanca', artichoke (Cynara) 'Green Globe' and Nigella 'White Lady'. The whole is finished with stripped branches of Asparagus - leaving only the skeleton of the branch. For green contrast, large wild, spent dill flower heads with seed pods from the roadside were used. A very beautiful natural ensemble, in a transparent glass vase.
