On my online workbook this week: Forever… incomplete

Dear

This week's inspiration is … a work in progress.

My tip for you this week is to up the versatility of the armature even more. The Wisteria flowers have a natural curve and it is easy to place them in the water tubes that are positioned all the way in the back of the design. To make it even more versatile, arrange the bark rolls and insert the water tubes with the slit in the bark facing slightly to the side rather than to the back. This adjustment makes it easier to place differently positioned flower stems in the display to still face forward. Also cut the stems slightly longer and thread it through the armature to the back so that it securely curve around to the front.

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine
