Making something out of nothing, using gathered fo

Making something out of nothing, using gathered foraged materials. I brought a form with me to my parents home, one that I had used for photos last year. But I did not bring any flowers or botanical materials at all, so I had to get creative. It’s mostly gathered branches and foraged evergreens, but was lacking a big if color. So I looked everywhere for a solution. Small ornaments, ribbon, cording? Nope. The only thing I could find was bits of red shredded paper from a gift basket. I’ve learned to look at materials and try to see the potential they offer. Folding and binding several together in a bind wire chain gave me the color I needed! #floraldesignersofinstagram #foraging #somethingfromnothing #evergreens #branches #creative

Day 9 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituu

Day 9 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool was a day of sketching! I thought maybe a part of a day, but nope s whole day of it. Still a weak spot fir me, but a rapid improvement in one day. Definitely inspiring me to practice and become better at sketching by working harder at it. This was truly a special day❤️❤️❤️#europeanfloraldesign #creativity #sketching #designideas #floralartwork

Day 8 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituu

Day 8 of @gregorlersch Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool “Wellsprings of inspiration”. Photos are heavy on the constructions before flowers, but it really is very interesting to see how they are done. Another wonderful day with another layer of thinking in approaching design. #europeanfloraldesign #wellsprings #inspiration #designinspirations #floralartwork

Day 7 of the Masterclass of @gregorlersch @boermai

Day 7 of the Masterclass of @gregorlersch @boermainstituutflowerschool with theme Asymmetry and displacement. One of my favorite days (but honestly every day was packed full of so much I loved). Apologies for being behind in posting, it always means that I have gotten throughly absorbed in what I am learning. #europeanfloraldesign #asymmetry #displacement #florals #floraleducation #floraljourney #dutchflowers

Masterclass day 5 (last Friday) with @gregorlersch @boermainstituutflowerschool . Loved this day, and learned so much about firm linear designs. Ready to go home and practice, practice, practice to increase my understanding. Last photo is my design during the practical. #europeanfloraldesign #boermainstituut #formlinear #designlovers #linear #floraldesignersofinstagram

Day 3 and 4 of the Masterclass with @gregorlersch

Day 3 and 4 of the Masterclass with @gregorlersch @boermainstituutflowerschool covering table decorations and bridal bouquets.I realized once again that I didn’t get enough photos of finished designs, which usually means I am into the moment and absorbing information. All written down in notes, and in my memory. The knowledge that I am gathering is immensely inspiring and useful. Can’t wait to put it into practice when I return home. Grateful for the time spent here learning and the days yet to come. #europeanfloraldesign #flowerslover #designideas #dcflorist #dcfloraldesigner #bridal #aalsmeer

Some quickly taken photos from my first day of classes with @gregorlersch at @boermainstituutflowerschool yesterday. Realized that I need better shots of complete designs as I have lots of detailed close ups of techniques (which I know many people understand why). Yesterday we concentrated on organic designs which is very useful. Good to be back in a classroom and continue the journey of floral education. #floraleducation #technique #organic #boermainstituut #masterflorists #floralartwork #designideas

Today I was able to schedule a visit to Mobach Keramiek in Utrecht. The pieces made there are for the florist trade, and absolutely the best quality you can find. I can’t adequately describe how beautiful the glazes are, they are incredibly intoxicating. Loved being able to visit today. These are the pieces from the showroom. I will also post photos from the shelves of the sales room in another post. #mobachkeramiek #ceramique #keramiek #utrecht #dutchceramics #floristics #thenetherlands #dutchdesign #pottery

The second day of @nicubocancea Masterclass @boermainstituutflowerschool did not disappoint. A very creative look at upcycling old designs to create new ones (which I love to do). If you haven’t taken a course at Boerma, you should. Many thanks to @mikeboermafloraldesign for effortlessly facilitating 2 days of classes!

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to attend the masterclass of @nicubocancea taking place @boermainstituutflowerschool in Aalsmeer. He produced several really fantastic designs, each very different and full of design knowledge. Today I get to do it all over again with a second day! #nicubocancea #boermainstituut #floralschool #aalsmeer #designinspiration #masterclass #flowers🌸

It’s always fun to create new forms and try out ideas. In the process I learn more and more about the materials and techniques I use, and it strengthens my understanding of both. #form #ideas #floralart #designer #flowers🌸 #floristsandflowers #creativity #createsomethingnew #lehnerwolle
