These beautiful flowers are all out of my garden last spring. I've been waiting for some inspiration of what to do with them. Now I am loving combining them into triptychs. I hope you enjoy them too.

A triptych with flowers this time. I love doing triptychs.

Students learnt how to make this floating table top design in my first official workshop as a teacher. It was a great day, and everyone produced gorgeous designs.

It's been a long, long time since I have posted anything on my Mulberry Floral Art & Photography page. I have been concentrating on the photography side of things and have taken a giant leap by participating in this year's Art Trail Manawatu. Time is quickly ticking by - only 2 weeks to go! So, if you feel like a ride out to the countryside to see what I have been up to, please get a group together or come on you own - I would love to see you! I will have lots of drieds available - wreaths and bouquets etc - as well. So, please spread the word.
See you in a couple of weeks ###

I finally felt like making another wreath, rather pleased how this turned out. Back in the groove at last!

Happy New Year everybody! It's been a while since I did a "straight" photo... so here it is. Amazing that I've still got lots of flowers left in my garden with all this heat.

Back from the trip of a lifetime! So many photos of cute marine animals and birds. First of many to come .. little seal pup emerging from the deep blue.

I finally managed to get the photos sorted from our Christmas wreath making workshop on 13th November. Somewhere in here is a photo album of the class. My camera was on the wrong setting, so the pics of the wreaths are all blurry. (Some photographer!) We had a great day, and everyone went home with the most stunning Christmas wreath. I'm always amazed and thrilled at how beautiful they turn out.

The Christmas wreath making workshop on Saturday is now full - we will have a great day creating a long lasting Christmas wreath to grace the front door, complete with a bit of bling and some fairy lights. If you would have liked to come on this workshop but couldn't quite make it this time, message me and let me know if you are interested, and I will organise another workshop in the new year.

A late cancellation to the Christmas Wreath workshop means there is an opportunity for one more person to join us on this fun day. The workshop opens with "coffee and cake", we move on to making our wreaths, followed by light lunch and a glass of bubbles with more creativity after lunch. The price is $120.00 for the day and includes all materials etc. Message me or text for more info or to join in. The workshop is this Saturday (13th Nov) and starts at 10.00. Finish time is flexible but normally around 2.30 - 3.00

This is how my daisy image looks on the wall. It's great to see in situ like this.

Some of you have asked if you could make a xmas wreath to put on the door, rather than a table design - yes, of course you can! Complete with fairy lights - you can't have a xmas wreath without fairy lights. (:

The wreath making workshop on 23rd October is going ahead as planned. A bit of a blooper making this on Labour Weekend, but to reschedule makes it difficult to get a new date that suits everyone. If you are planning on coming to this workshop could you please message me or let me know via email to confirm your place.
The dodgy state of the nation and possible lockdowns makes it difficult to be definite about dates, but we just have to go ahead as best we can. A full refund will be made if we go into lockdown and are unable to hold the workshop.

I am holding a Christmas Baubles and Candles workshop on 14th November, so if you can't make the 23rd, book in the for the Christmas bling workshop - just as much fun, same lunch, bubbles and an excellent day out. See the website for more info.😀

One more of the lovely Iris - black background or not? I can't choose.

I found a perfect Iris in the my garden just waiting to have its photograph taken.

Bluebells - Something a bit different for me - experimenting with a lighter background.

17/09/2021

A new workshop date has been set - 23rd October 2021. Let's just hope that Covid doesn't scuttle this workshop again! Check out the website for full details on www.mulberryfloralart.com

Congratulations Tomoko Wada-Macdonald you are the winner of the Mulberry Floral art and Bayleys Palmerston North wreath making class

For the romantics ... lovely pinks, purples and sage green. A really robust and full-bodied wreath chokka full of lovely smells including dried rosebuds, lavender and eucalyptus. I really enjoyed making this, and it took ages to make - over 2 days. Oh well, at least the lockdown is good for something.

27/08/2021

Making the most of the lock down - I am enjoying the gift of time which is allowing me to spend time in my workshop. Another wreath to add to the stable.

Sadly due to our current situation in New Zealand, we have postponed our wreath workshop that was due to be held this coming weekend.
Thank you all to everyone that has shown interest in attending the workshop. Please keep your eyes open for our next event.
In the meantime, keep safe and be kind ❤️

Such a shame the workshop has had to be cancelled. It will be rescheduled as soon as we get back to normal. Thank you all for your interest. In the meantime, I keep experimenting with different things. I couldn't resist picking these rogue sunflowers from my garden and capturing them on film. I'm sure they haven't realised it is winter. Hoping to get back to normal very soon.😃😃
