Lavender cake
A layer of cellophane
is wrapped around a Smithers Oasis bio cake form to make it waterproof. An elastic band is placed around the form, between which the placed lavender stems are clamped. After enough lavender has been placed around the form, the whole can be secured with waterproof
tape and then nicely finished with ribbon and wire. Fresh flowers, including Helleborus, Clematis, Gloriosa, Phalaenopsis, Talinum ‘Long John’ and Echeveria succulents, are placed in the (wet) floral foam. Matching Christmas baubles and handmade stars of purple aluminum wire give the whole extra cachet.
Xmas twist
Within the golden ring – formerly a kind of tray
with a mirror – a silver shrub (Calocephalus) cut into pieces was placed first. All materials are inserted through this. The whole is placed on a vase so that the cut flowers are all in water: Clematis (including C. Amazing Kibo), chrysanthemum, Scabiosa, Zantedeschia, Rudbeckia and Phalaenopsis. Finally, the Christmas balls and the Echeveria
succulents are glued on.
Twins
This set on two beautiful handmade bowls is arranged in bio-foam from Smithers Oasis. The bowls are also the starting point for the shape – continuing the shape of the surface in the floral work is always particularly powerful. All flowers and berries have been thoroughly cleaned. The leafless stems really participate decoratively in this story. The flower heads and berries are inserted in a kind of screen. Many chrysanthemums and also Hypericum berries are used: real autumn materials. Also discover the processed Astrantia, Scabiosa, Guzmania, Phalaenopsis and Dianthus.
Stewed pears
The stewed pears that blew out of the tree after a heavy storm were given a new lease on life. The colors in the pears are beautiful and, together with the beautiful flower hues, form a lovely whole. The base is a wooden MDF board with small water tubes drilled into it. The board is spruced up with metallic spray paint from Smithers Oasis. For an extra accent, satin cord is glued around the edge of the disc. This object can be reused many times. The flowers used are Cambria orchids, lisianthus, chrysanthemums, dill, Scabiosa, and Phalaenopsis.
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.
Scent and gold
Everyone would want this beautiful set in their home; each pot contains three beautiful salmon-colored mini Phalaenopsis plants that also smell wonderful. Gold-colored aluminum wire has been used to replace the removed plant stakes. Decorative and technical, because the stems are attached to it and can be placed where you want them. Self-adhesive woven gold-colored mourning ribbon creates a beautiful detail that also makes the surface just a little different.
