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.
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 bordeaux, deep red and lighter shades, are incorporated into the bowl shape of the frame along the sides, the stems also holding up the frame. Some of the flowers have special shapes such as Guzmania, Phalaenopsis, Chrysanthemum, Gloriosa and Celosia. In between and along the outside are incorporated Sanguisorba, Talinum, Scabiosa, Clematis Amazing Kibo, lisianthus, Zantedeschia and grasses.
Circle of strength

A circle radiates strength, is protective but also represents perfection, infinity and friendship: character traits that can symbolize the deceased. The background is a cardboard cat basket. The harmonica of cardboard forms a beautiful natural background that can be unfolded into different round shapes. The shape is placed on a glass bowl, then glass stitching tubes are placed in the openings of the harmonica. With loose (dried) flowers without glass, it is a nice alternative for a natural cemetery - then it can blend in completely with nature. Here the glass tubes feature Abelia, Astrantia, Clematis, Crocosmia, Dahlia, Gomphrena, Houttuynia, Rubus, Scabiosa, Sempervivum and Viburnum.
Heartwarming embrace

Around an Oasis wreath is tied the dried leaves of the Strelitzia which provides a solid embrace for the red center. This center of warm red flowers consists of Hydrangea 'Ruby Red', Rosa 'Ducati' and Scabiosa 'Dark Cherry'. Playful sprigs of Talinum paniculatum 'Long John' bring some lightness and sophistication to the composition.
