Grasses

I took apart the grass skirt from the bouquet I made at college and incorporated into a couple of other designs. I also had too many flowers so made another teacup arrangement, which are my favourite things to make!

Wedding: week 9

This is what I made in week 9 of the wedding unit of my floristry course - a hand tied with a collar and a grass "skirt". The skirt didn't last very long because I had to put the flowers in a vase but it's a nice idea to cover the stems. Just might need to be a little bit shorter!

Sympathy: Week 6

Here are the results of week 6 of the sympathy unit of my floristry course. And I really don't like it! I liked it at the start but the more I added to it the worse I think it got. I just think it looks messy and I much prefer to work neatly. I do like the little hearts I managed to make with the tulip leaves though!

Sympathy: Week 5

Here are the results from week 5 of my sympathy, and the most funeral-like design so far. It has also been pointed out to me that it looks like Jesus on the cross!

I didn't think I would enjoy this design much but I actually really did. We had free reign over how we wanted to add the leaves to the cross so it was nice to have control over the final result. I also got to have a go at plaiting a fern type leaf in front of the whole class. I'm really pleased with how it came out, and my course leader was very complimentary on my design.
