My floral education group has been full speed ahead since we pivoted to an online platform in March when the pandemic closed everything down.
We met monthly for years (32 to be exact) and really thought on our feet and got busy on Zoom like everyone else to keep everyone together.
In order to keep ourselves and our members motivated we began to issue design challenges and have the members post their creations on our private member page. We have a weekly meeting to either talk about how to do the challenge or to review the photos.
It is fun, people are thinking outside the box/vase and I hope getting some respite from all the horrific news in the world.
This week the challenge was to work with unusual containers. For the first one I manipulated a piece of craft foam around a glass vase to create a soft suede like container, and filled with it wth incredible dahlias from our friends at Grateful Gardeners.
The second one is a generic vase wrapped with reed braid to give a boring vase some life. I kept the color palette very soft so the spiky branch and protea could be dominant.
