Hello all,
At class last week, for the advanced students, I decided to take advantage of all the flowering wattle trees around and asked the girls to make an arrangement using wattle in two or more containers.
Mine is the arrangement, above. I felt that the Kamo Hon Ami camellias were a perfect accompanying material.
Cymbie had very tall gladiolas, so chose a tall vase into which she placed the wattle and a small suiban for the gladiolas.
Vicky used two very different, yet matching, containers. She used only wattle and and some unconventional material in the form of a thick wire.
Nicole used two different types of wattle and branches of corky elm in two ceramic containers.
Mary used jonquils and alstroemeria psittacina leaves with her wattle in two matching, ceramic containers.
Lei's class theme was 'Specific Scenes, Occasions or Spaces'. She chose the cabinet in front of the wall mounted television. She kept her arrangement low to prevent obstructing the the screen. She used fatsia japonica leaves, Asiatic lilies and white hardenbergia in a ceramic container.
Dianne's class theme was 'A Variety of Materials'. She arrived to class with a swathe of fabulous materials. She used seven different materials in a large suiban.
I leave you with a few camellia arrangements made with offcuts from other arrangements, which I could just not throw away.
