Floral Inspirations: From the Trash II

Do you ever get pigeonholed?  I do.

Most people think all I do is create pretty, beautiful, fluffy, feminine floral pieces and weddings(and they would be correct) but most forget that I'm a trained floral designer and enjoy doing more modern pieces for home, restaurant and corporate installs.

This is another project from the trash(which I am lovin').  I rescued branches from the trash, cut a few pieces from an old curly willow branch and took the "stems" from a bunch of regular white callas to create this vertical piece.  For many of you, this might not resonate especially if you love our fluffy pieces but I think it's important to show that you can do a range of styles even if it isn't that pretty. 

To make this piece....
I took one of rectangular glass and one smaller bud vase.  I used the smaller bud vase to hold the branches.  Then I "submerged" the glass into the large glass.  The curly willow is wrapped inside the larger glass.  To finish this design, I threaded, cut stems amongst the branches.  This design is something that I created for the fun of it so I'm not going to put a price tag on it...let's just say it's priceless to me. 

Design time: 30 minutes
