Subdued
A square sheet of styropor is pasted on the sides and top with prepared Cobra Leaves. The underside is finished with felt. An Oasis Bio Solo Ring is attached in the center of the plate with Nobilis sprigs inserted into it. Inserted between these are a selection of fresh flowers such as Hypericum, Clematis Amazing Kibo, Talinum 'Long John', Helleborus 'Mammoth Red', Astrantia 'Star of Desire', lisianthus and Cymbidium. Also incorporated is a string of LED lights, as well as small Christmas balls and pine cones. For a little more elan, needles were rustled from the Nobilis branches and sprinkled over the Cobra Leaves.
Graphic silhouette
This fan is constructed as a frame bouquet: fresh Tillandsia is tightly wrapped around 5mm aluminum wire to form a resilient support. In this frame, Clematis Amazing Kansas gets the stage, complemented by sophisticated accents of Talinum 'Long John', Polianthes tuberosa, Phalaenopsis, Gloriosa and beautiful foliage for some added depth and detail. The combination of airy plant textures and slender flower stems delivers a light and graphic winter silhouette.
Strong and bright
A fan built with florist wire (1.6mm) on a central pin. The whole thing is sprayed in copper color and then wrapped with copper-colored bouillon wire. Water tubes make changing and refreshing flowers easy. The slender lines allow Phalaenopsis, Gloriosa, Talinum 'Long John' and Scabiosa to stand out well within a strong and clear silhouette.
Warm winter wreath
A handmade winter wreath is given a robust base of Oasis Sec. Wetted Oasis Bio is integrated where flowers are placed. The outside is fully lined with the seed pods of elm, giving a soft, warm color and fine texture. The wreath stands on wooden feet for some "air" and a nice presentation, and is richly stocked with dainty small-flowered species such as Talinum 'Long John', Astrantia, Gloriosa and Sanguisorba.
Glowing flower cushion
On a substantial bowl lies a low base of OASIS Renewal blocks. The sleek outer edge of short-stalked Limonium contrasts with the warm, glowing center full of Scabiosa. The transition is given nuance with Talinum 'Long John' and Sanguisorba. Buds and single open flowers of Clematis Amazing Tokyo are the quiet eye-catchers.
Sleep tight
Silver spool wire is interwoven and woven until a loose kIus shape is created. Attached to this base are many small test tubes incorporating a wide variety of flowers in a rich color palette. Flowers used: Gloriosa 'Fifty Shades', various Clematis Amazing varieties such as London, Miami, Kansas and Sofia. As well as Polianthes 'Elsa Blush', Chasmantium latifolium 'Mantis', Talinum 'Long John', Astrantia 'Roma', Phalaenopsis, Lilium, Scabiosa Bon Bon Scoop French Vanilla, Viola and several varieties of Dahlia.
