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
Twins
This set on two beautiful handmade bowls is stitched in bio-stitch foam from Smithers Oasis. The bowls are also the starting point for the shape - continuing the shape of the base into floral work is always especially powerful. All the flowers and berries are thoroughly cleaned. The leafless stems really participate decoratively in this story. The flower heads and berries are tucked into a kind of screen. There are many chrysanthemums incorporated as well as Hypericum berries: true autumn materials. Also discover the processed Astrantia, Scabiosa, Guzmania, Phalaenopsis and Dianthus.
Better together
A delightful set of beautiful objects whose base can be easily reused. The base is self-made from two decorative garden plugs in flower shape - when purchased they were flat. The two plugs were drilled into the wooden blocks and unfolded to make them spatial. To create even more possibilities, thick aluminum wire was worked through and around them - so that tubes can be easily attached to them and flowers woven through them. Zantedeschia lends itself beautifully to braiding through the frame, with the stems also joining in nicely. Talinum 'Long John' is dry processed here - it always dries in beautifully. In addition, Gloriosa, some orchids and Scabiosa are beautifully in place in these autumn objects.
Stewed pears
The stewing pears that were blown out of the tree after a big storm were given new life. The colors in the pears are beautiful and together with the pretty floral tones make a lovely whole. The base is a wooden MDF board with small water tubes drilled into it. The board was pimped up with metallic spray paint from Smithers Oasis. Satin cord was glued around the edge of the disk for an added accent. This object can be reused many times. The flowers used are Cambria orchids, lisianthus, chrysanthemums, dill, Scabiosa and Phalaenopsis.
Long shelf life
Inspired by early autumn mornings. An Oasis Eychenne All Black cushion (Ø 50cm) was used as a base, the edge of which was covered with plastic tape then oats (Avena sativa) were sandwiched behind string and tied. Then the thin birch stems were placed and all materials including Papaver somniferum, Scabiosa stellata, rapeseed, teasel, wheat and ground elder were inserted into the oasis. Miscanthus sticks out above the birch trunks. Ornamental fruits, sunflower hearts and loose leaves were placed on top as a finishing touch. All materials dry in nicely.
Autumn Bowl
Half a hollow Styrofoam ball is pasted with birch bark on the outside and terracotta clay on the inside. An Oasis ball filled with chrysanthemums was placed in the bowl shape. Materials that dry nicely such as Rudbeckia, rose hip, Viburnum berry and Scabiosa stellata were then glued to the edge of the bowl.
