Well what does one do on these long summer evenings? I have been spending my time taking inspiration
from the recent demonstration given by Gregor Lerch, on his recent trip to the
UK.
This stunning design certainly has the Wow factor and now
takes pride of place on the main counter in the shop. The structure is made entirely out of heavy
gauge florist’s wire and a paper covered wire.
By using various techniques of wrapping and binding the wire together, I
have created the free standing structure with two fan shaped wings. Once the structure is made, I have added on pieces
of thin bleached reeds, cut into pieces of about 10 and 15cm lengths. By weaving and interlocking them together,
they create a strong and impressive structure. The Gloriosia lily in then feed through the
centre of the design and the ends of the stems are placed into water in glass
test tubes.
At Fleur Boutique, we all think this is going to be a huge taking
point for the many customers that come into the shop. What do you think? Would love to hear your comments too.
