On my online workbook this week: Have yourself a Merry Cellulose Fibre Christmas: Gyp flurry Snowman

Dear

This week's inspiration is all those little things (that are actually not quite all that little) we do to show we care.

My tip for you this week is to use a twig to create a small gap to prevent condensation in the bottom vase. It completely disappears in the overall look of the design. Simply place a twig to extend above the edge of the bigger fish bowl vase so that the smaller fishbowl rests against it at a slight angle (or you can even exaggerate that angle to give the snowman a fun jaunty head angle to add a lot of personality!) This way the air can flow freely and the water can evaporate. The vase will remain fog and droplet free.

Another benefit of the twig is that it creates a slight buffer between the two glass bowls and it keeps the glass from cracking even when you add the weight of the water.

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine

ps: I have collected some of my favourite things in my design room into a 2020 gift guide for you. The link is below in the Snippets. I am sharing it only with you guys, as newsletter subscribers, but if you know of someone who is setting up a design space or shopping for someone who loves floral designing feel free to spread the word. If they sign up during the coming week they can read about it again in next week's email.

 
 
This week's design and tutorial
 
 
Have yourself a Merry Cellulose Fibre Christmas: Gyp flurry Snowman
 
...ok not really that fancy- it’s paper pulp. Cardboard boxes, really. In the spirit of 2020- I am inspired by the endless stream of cardboard boxes being delivered. My list of inspiration would not be complete without showing a but-we-have-been-doing-this-forever “just wrap an empty box and place it in a design”, design.

Huge thank you to everyone buying my book. I don't think there's a bigger compliment that you can give someone than saying something they made with so much love and care would be a nice Christmas gift!!!

Just a note though: the Kindle edition of the book is still available at half the price of the hardcover book on Amazon, if that is the format you are looking for. But I am so disappointed to share with you that Amazon has raised the price of the hardcover from CDN$103.20 to CDN$ 143.49 this Christmas Season! Another reason to please rather support your local bookstore if you still want to get a copy.

If you can’t find it on the racks of your local independent bookstore they will be able to order one for you. Here is the ISBN number:

ISBN-10: 1999392329

ISBN-13: 978-1999392321
