A quick small diminutive design made for last week’s @ifdaflorists meeting. The construction was made a few months ago, waiting for the right time to be flowered. #floraldesign #floralart #florist #dcflorist #diminuative #design #hellebore #anthurium

My final piece for the Reinvention/Recycle/Reuse challenge for @ifdaflorists . Starting with the finished design, then the original composition used for the art interpretation challenge. That design was disassembled and used to create a design for the Fusion Flowers contest. Then one again I disassembled it and created a new design using a Christmas wreath frame I found discarded on the street which I covered with brown Oasis bind wire and created a “foot” for it to stand on. Once the foot and wreath frame were connected I added the covered water tube pieces. #floraldesign #reinvention #recycle #reuse #floraldesigner #flowers #floristsofinstagram #floralarrangement #floralart

Part 2 of my design for @ifdaflorists Reinvention/Recycle/Reuse challenge. I took the base from the previously posted design, and drilled larger holes where the black stubs wires were. I replaced then with bamboo skewers, and attached raffia covered water tubes with zip ties. To finish the construction I used pieces of dried aspidistra leaves cut into pieces and attached with hot glue(and some bits of gold leaf).

Posting a design from two years ago, which I haven’t shown before. The construction sat on a shelf in my studio until recently when I disassembled it to create something new. I was asked by @ifdaflorists to create a challenge for members, and so I chose Reinvention/Recycle/Reuse. Members were asked to take apart a past design construction and create something new parts of the materials. I’ll post the new design later. #reinvention #recycle #reuse #floraldesign #floral #floralart #florist #floristsofinstagram #dcflorist #emcdesigner

Who knew you could turn computer printer paper into something so pretty? Lots of folded and torn pieces of paper simply pinned onto a styrofoam wreath (a straw wreath would work also.). Inside the construction a hand tied spiral bouquet is made. #emcdesigner #emcprogram #risewithemc #handtiedbouquet #bouquets #floraltechniques

To welcome Autumn I created a design using the colors of the season. Starting with a beautiful ceramic container from Mobach I used foraged grasses to create natural flower supports. The container has two rings of small holes, in which placed bent grass stems in an inverted “V” shape. This form supports the flowers which are all inserted in the larger center opening of the container. Flowers were used at the edge of the construction forming an open ring of flowers, and in the center I used some of the tops of the grasses.

Celebrating the end of summer with a design which began with a discarded Christmas wreath found on the street. I collected several this past January with the idea that I might find some new purpose for them. The frame was opened up a bit to create the “legs” and I covered the whole frame with rope. I chose the rough texture so that it would be an easier material to hold glue. Then I glued over 500 bamboo knots onto the frame and added small glass tubes as my water source. #risewithemc #emcdesigner #floraldesign #floralart #bamboo
