Everlasting Arrangments...

We were prepping the shop for spring and make a few silk arrangements. I really wanted to create something more natural in color and elements. I used lots of grasses, wicker, and moss as a foundation for a green and brown color scheme. The design is asymmetrical but follows a very defined slope either up or down depending on which side you happen to be viewing the piece from. I like to use strong lines to make the eyes flow across the piece. Then after the observer feels comfortable with the flow of the line they are left to inspect the elements nestled in closer and really examine all the different elements and textures in the piece.
