Detail of Inspired by Nature design
Flax leaves are ripped with a kenzan and wrapped with copper wire and small blue beads to create a rope to weave into a delicate spider web.
A Phalaenopsis orchid plant and aerial roots, small husks of green Cape gooseberries and dried Hydrangea florets are glued to float on the web.

The web is then suspended in a dramatic Acacia tortilis branch.

About me

This is my ongoing creative workbook to research and capture design projects and techniques. You will mostly find ideas for floral art but I will also include some other projects such as gift packaging, cards and even cake decorating with a few lifestyle projects arranged in between.

Everything you see in this workbook was designed, made and photographed by me, unless specific credit is given to another designer.
