004: Flower arranging week four

On the fourth week of my flower arranging class we made a contemporary display. I don't like this creation as much as my other ones. I prefer the more tracditional displays. However i do like the central focus of the amaryllis. The gold ribbon on the left (which is hard to see on the picture) helps to balance out the large leaf on the right. There are also a few beads pressed in here and there.



The course is £48 and includes all the flowers/foliage for the arrangements and you get to keep everything you make! This works out to just £8 a week which i think is great value for money.

003: Flower arranging week three

The third week has been my favourite so far. We made advent wreaths with a lot of foliage, red flowers and berries. It also inculdes four candles, which need to be burnt each Sunday on the run up to Christmas. Today is the first day for the candles to be burnt.



And a close up picture because i really like this one.

002: Flower arranging week two

The second week of the flower arranging class was to make a circle arrangement. This is very similar to the triangle arrangement except that all four sides of the oasis are covered, again with the top being two thirds high and the sides being one third out. Again i was really pleased with my result.



The flowers smelt wonderful and i love the choice of colours i was given.

001: Flower arranging week one

I have recently started a six week flower arranging course where we will be covering a variety of flower arrangements.

When i heard the local florist was going to be holding the flower arranging classes i couldn't resist signing up. I have always loved flowers and this gives me the chance to explore my creative side with them rather than just plonking them in a vase and not doing them justice.

The first week was a simple triangle display. Sally May (The florist) told us that flowers should always be arranged two thirds above the oasis (a foam type thing that you put the flowers into if you didn't know) and one third to the side. When looked at from the front and the side the shape made with the flowers and foliage make a triangle shape, hence the name.

I think i did really well for my first attempt, and it was really enjoyable and relaxing to do. Anyway, here's a picture of my result:

000: Introduction

I am new to crafting and have decided to make a blog to share my crafting adventures! I love cardmaking and also enjoy cross stitch. I also want to get better at knitting and try out crochet.

Crafting for me is so much fun and very relaxing and i love to see what ideas i can come up with. I don't know how often this blog will be updated, but i will try my best to keep it frequent!

At the moment i am still gathering a lot of basic supplies so i can start card making properly. My addiction to buy at the moment are CD roms. Image wise i like to go for cute images and faeries. I also love glitter!
