Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman
I wanted to create extremely light weight wooden blocks for my design. The easiest way is to cover Styrofoam with a Kyogi paper veneer.
Stack and glue tiny twigs to create a round platter
Connect grass covered wire rings with short reed sections to create a natural looking Floral Art armature
A water balloon can be a flexible and durable water source for plant material
This looks spectacular but it is the easiest composite flower to make
Wire and bend foliage in any shape
Biodegradable copper mesh makes the perfect shape to fill with moss to grow tiny stem plants
Once you figure out how to do the corners weaving a diagonal shape is actually not that hard to do.
Heart shaped rosery vine and pine love bug
I build up the spheres by weaving willow wreaths and then use those to shape the ball
Butterfly hair clips are the perfect little claws to help you hold tiny items in place while you wait for glue to dry
I don't always want to wire my test tubes into the design. I like to create a bit of movement by simply hooking the tubes to gently swing.
