Ode to Aruba

The base is a boat form of Lunaria made by the gluing technique. The boat is filled with zinc fern (Phlebodium 'Blue Star'), Brunia, pampas grass (Cortaderia), silver bush (Calocephalus) and reused roots of Phalaenopsis. Cream-colored baubles and a petrified desert rose add a Christmas touch.

Inspiration for the materials used is Christmas in Aruba where tufts of pampas grass always play a role. 'Brunia brings to mind coral, zinc fern leaf to seaweed and Lunaria to shells.'

Stylish fireplace arrangement

The base is a robust stump combined with crooked branches Ilex verticillata 'Winter Gold', old Larix branches, white coralberry (Symphoricarpos), white Zantedeschia, zinc fern (Phlebodium 'Blue Star'), Pinus strobus, bromeliad and Rosa 'Country Blues'.
