Wooden cylinders
In this ceramic bowl, various sizes of bare wood cylinders are placed – leftover wood from a stair maker. Many glass tubes of different sizes are clamped between the cylinders – this allows you to reuse the base endlessly. Many special varieties are incorporated into the tubes, such as beautiful fern curls, various orchids, Ranunculus, Ludisia, Clematis, Gloriosa, Talinum 'Long John', and beautiful, very dark Anthurium.
Spring
As far as we are concerned, spring cannot begin early enough. Immediately after the Christmas festivities, the beacons are immediately moved. There is a need for space and light. The first flowering branches, the snowdrops, the Helleborus flowers and blue grape hyacinths: let them come, we know what to do with them.
Mood lights
In a store, you can't always make the surfaces yourself. These tealight holders already form
a beautiful frame. To give them a slightly different look, a number of gold-colored
aluminum wires are incorporated around the base, some wrapped with gold-colored bullion wire. This is decorative but
also technically provides the possibility to attach tubes and Christmas baubles to the base. Some
beautiful flexible mini south wind lilies and Tillandsia leaves 'grow' nicely through the wires.
Christmas wreaths
Polystyrene wreaths were used as the base for the Christmas wreaths.
Holes were first drilled into these
to insert plastic tubes. After that,
molten candle wax was applied. The materials
were glued or placed on silver-colored aluminum wire
that was inserted through the candle wax into the polystyrene.
Roses,
orchids, Tillandsia, snowberries and
Alocasia leaves were placed in the tubes.
Natural wreaths
For the base of each of these wreaths, a polystyrene ring is
used on which prepared foliage is glued with hot glue.
A layer of bullion wire is wrapped around the foliage for
decoration - it also ensures that the foliage stays nicely
within the shape everywhere. All materials are glued with hot
glue, including a number of Christmas baubles upside down
so that they can also serve as water carriers for Gloriosa
and a number of small Phalaenopsis and Nerine flowers.
Golden drops
These golden drops can serve as
alternative Christmas trees, but they are also
very beautiful as objects. The stunning bases
are made of 5 mm thick gold-colored
aluminum wire wrapped with gold-colored
bouillon wire and can be re-arranged many times.
Gold-colored Ginkgo leaves and Christmas balls
have been used. Gloriosa and Bromelia flowers
are incorporated in a glass tube.
