Hello all,
For today's Masterclass I provided each attendant with a large branch of corky elm and five green goddess lilies. They were to select their own containers for their arrangement. Although they look dry, the branches were fresh, making them malleable, able to be bent and reshaped.
Prior to class I, also, challenged myself with the same exercise. The result is the arrangement, above. The branches were very straight but I was able to bend them to create the repeated curves
Christine created sharp angles, which were accentuated by the removal of smaller, subordinate branches. She used only two, fully opened lilies in a heavy, ceramic container, which has a split down the middle.
Vicky used a doughnut shaped, ceramic container with three openings. She curved the branches from either side of the container but maintained the asymmetry by placing more branches to the left than to the right. The three lilies completed the arrangement.
Jenny, also, used a container with a split down the middle. She manipulated the branches minimally and fed the branch through the opening. She added three lilies not quite unfurled.
Lucy used a triangular container and created the first design.
... but then, she tried adding more corky elm. They were both smart arrangements but, after some discussion, we could not decide which version we preferred, so I've included both here.
Bye for now,
Emily
