Dangling

and more

If we hang on to our tried and tested floral design techniques and practices

too tightly

it has no space to evolve and grow and become more resilient.

Creativity happens when we trust our understanding of

what we absolutely know

will work

enough to allow it

to dangle about a bit more…

freely.

Dew-Drop Crystals

I created the Tutorial for how I add these crystals to my floral designs 11 years ago! Since then I have tried, tested and searched for the perfect crystals that would go from studio‑table picture perfect to show‑day‑dependable and I always come back to these. They remain the absolute best. They’re inexpensive yet have a refined, high‑quality crystal brilliance; they don’t tarnish and their adhesive backing stays reliably tacky even after they were exposed to water.
