Casket spray

This is a casket spray I made during this last semester. 

This was my first time making a casket spray, and it turned out pretty good

 I thought. A lot of greenery is added, along with roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, and wax flower.

Thank you to my awesome sister who photographed these pictures for me. :)

Ti-Leaf Lei

This was very fun yet hard to make this lei, as well as super messy!

This is a lei made out of Ti leaves. This method was basically cutting the leaves into pieces and then twisting them over each other. (This is more complicated than it seems) These are great to make for graduations. I see these made more for the guys, than the girls, but could be wore by both.

Garden Theme

This arrangement was towards my mom. My class was given mother's day as our theme.

Since my mom is always outside in the backyard, and is always gardening or doing something along those lines, I decided to do a little gardening theme. I also decided to add some little birds, because as long as I have been alive, my mom has always had a bird. :) Just some things that remind me of my mommy!

Space age glam rock

I was asked to help a friend with her senior project a month or so 

before school got out. My friend and her group held their event at the First Friday's in Long Beach.

The theme they were asked to incorporate was SPACE AGE GLAM ROCK. Their goal was to incorporate that theme with their main point of using different art inspirations to create dance. So I came up with the arrangement below which was displayed at their event. 

* The structure of this was handmade, all by PVC pipe, 

and then spray painted with metallic paint.

This was a really challenging and fun project for me to do, and I'm glad I was able to help with this project. Hope you enjoyed my post. Comment your likes or improvements :)

Joyful hand-tied bouquet

Was given some left over yellow roses

 from my aunt, and so I decided to make 

a yellow rose bouquet with them. Simply just to go in my 

grandmother's room

Yellow roses mean joy, gladness, friendship,

delight, promise of a new beginning, welcome back,

remember me, jealousy, "I care".

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

Compotise flower

This week in my Competition & Creativity class we had to make a composite flower. We were given 2 stems of spray roses,  1 stem of Leptospermum, & 1 Pink Mink Protea.

 

Above are the three flowers we were given. We had 30 minutes to create our Composite Flower, and this is what I created below. 

 

 

Unique Boutonniere

Hello everyone!

I know it has been a little while since my last post. I have been really busy, but I managed to make some time to post some photos. :)

This is a boutonniere I made last week, while I had some time to play around with some of my flowers. This boutonniere has lots of texture, along with masculine materials, which gives it a very unique look I feel.

This boutonniere consists of:

> Birds of paradise, which I took apart and added it in

> Safari Sunset Leucadendron, I used a few petals in the boutonniere, as well as took the center of one and added it in (left of boutonniere)

> Kangaroo Paw( adds a nice touch)

> Lastly, I used Jute Twine to cover stems and wire
