Floral Design

Now that i have completed two levels, i am comfortable enough to put up some pictures. I love my floral design class, and making there arrangements gives me great joy. Flowers are so beautiful, and it is a blessing to get to work with them so much!

"Classic 'L' Shaped Design"

"Scalene Triangle"
One of my favourites!

'T' Shaped Design (And yes, it is supposed to be an upside down 'T')

Fruit basket!

Just a round design, using silk flowers. Although they look very realistic nowadays, they are still a pain to work with!

"Modern Crescent Design"
I LOVED making this one! It was so easy and so unique. One of my sisters told me she wants me to do her wedding with this type of arrangement :) (although she is only 15 ha ha). I think it's cool that it is in a wine glass! Plus I love the Black Star Calla Lilies!

Here is a take on a Topiary. The lilies the wholesaler gave us were either really old, or damaged by Ethylene... So not in good shape at all.

"Formal Linear"
In a formal linear arrangement, you are supposed to distinctly separate each type of line (As seen above). It was fun to make but kind of looks like a bug or something to me haha. It is a bit wild..

This one is probably my very favourite! It is an American take on Japanese Ikebana. Very fun and very interesting!

Here is a little Christmas arrangement I gave to my sister

And finally, here is a Christmas Centrepiece!

There you go! I think I am getting into floral Design at a good time, I have a million female cousins, none of which are married yet, so we will have many weddings in the next decade! Plus I have three younger sisters!

Merry Christmas, and God bless!

I realize many artists paint Aspen Trees.. But I had to try. And it turns out they are very fun to paint! It seems as if the contrast on the bark looks good no matter what. I think I will try a few more in the coming weeks. Now I just hope this one dries enough before the community art show I am taking part in this Saturday!

I've decided to show some of my art from throughout the past three years. Some of it was done during High School, and the rest was either for fun or commission.
