My Creative Workbook

Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman

Foraging

This week's design is part of a challenge issued by Sherry Donnelly of Gertie Mae’s Floral Studio , Alicia Schwede, owner of Bella Fiori and and Chuck Graham, Floral designer at BLOOM by Anuschka and Flirty Fleurs floral blog, where the designs are featured.

The rules:

Create a design using only materials collected from the area immediately surrounding the space you usually design in. We could use foliages, berries, fruits, etc – but NO flowers.

I must admit... I was absolutely spoilt for choice here in beautiful Vancouver (Bristish Columbia, Canada), I could even be fussy and choose the exact colour scheme I wanted. Within a few minutes I had an entire bag full of salmon pink autumn foliage for my very fishy-inspired design!

rummage,

search,

scour,

ferret,

forage

and generally rooting about
