Two Totally Different Techniques

I made some really cool and cute things this week as part of my wedding unit. In the morning I sculpted a handbag shape from floral foam and covered it with leaves and orchid heads using different pinning and gluing techniques

In the afternoon I learnt how to make a wired baskette. It is a small design with a handle that a bridesmaid would hold. I think it is really cute and pretty and a great alternative to a bouquet for a young bridesmaid or flower girl as it is very light and quite robust.

Baskette with Dendrobiums, spray roses, chrysanths and spray carnations

Both of these designs will go in my wedding portfolio.
