She’s wearing a dried bear grass skirt. To be honest, the ‘skirt’ is from a previous fresh tatami design. I love how it dried naturally curling downward over time. It gave me an unexpectedly great opportunity to use it again.. and again. Does it indeed get better with age?! Well yes, sometimes.

Focus on texture. One of the designs elements that is sometimes overlooked.

Spring is coming when the p***y willows are in season. They bend well when fresh and are strong at the same time.

Using one of my favorite materials again, wood edgeband. After a soak in water even the wider sizes become very pliable and are quite sturdy.

Pine needle collar adds an extra special touch.

Here we are, the festive season is in full swing. Ornaments are out and ready to design. For this arrangement I chose a less traditional color scheme. Why not go beyond the expected red/green?

Continuing using the tatami method that I learned during master class. This one is done with bamboo leaves.

The richness of fall colors before we move into winterly decay. For this arrangement I dried palm inflorescence to complement the brown tones of the season. Also the faded tips of the papyrus provide great texture. Using parts of a palm and papyrus might not be the obvious choice when looking for autumn designs. After looking closely at all parts of plants I ‘m always surprised what I can find. Nature truly provides without fail.

Another design using the tatami method. This one is done with steel grass. I’m applying many techniques learned from master class at the . Still thinking daily about to most inspiring workshop and eager to grow from it 🙏

handmade structure with round reed wrapped in wool.

This was my submission for the program. My chosen theme was “wave”. To evoke a feeling of movement and dynamic lines I dried and painted Strelitzia (bird of paradise) leaves. I love how they contort as they dry.

Cleaned twigs to create this structure. As most of my creations, this one can be reused many times. It is well worth the time and care that goes into making such vessels.

Nasturtium is a great cut flower. Easy to go pick with the kids and bring home for Mother’s Day.

The last of the Acacia pycnantha (golden waddle). I removed most of the leaves to dress it down and give it a cleaner look. Simple and bright.

2x3; two asparagus fern shoots and three plumbago blooms. These minimalist and totally unplanned arrangements are my favorites. They grow out of a distraction from what I was actually doing. my jam!

After the rains this winter we have an abundance of weeds along the roads. Why not use them for their texture before they dry up.

Sewing is one of the many techniques florists use. For this ‘bowl’ I used tips of the bottlebrush. Thanks to sewing they are very secure and last a long time even when dried. Reusable and even compostable ♻️

I took a while off. Just realized that this post jumps from Christmas straight into Spring. That’s a leap!.. and there have been a few lately. Out of all of them jumping into Spring with flowers is definitely a good one. renew..rebirth..hope..spring

Poinsettia plants come in various colors besides the traditional Xmas red. Using them in a mono botanical table arrangement showcases the beautiful color variations. Poinsettia is a great choice as a cut flower for your holiday decor or as a gift.

the traditional red/green holiday colors. it’s a bit messy, maybe intentionally. this piece just wants to hold its own. she’s Charlotta Brown.

Making your own flower ‘container’ always creates something unique and far more interesting. The structure can be reused many times just like any other vase. The time it takes to build it is well worth the effort, don’t you think?
