Moira took this Christmas workshop two weeks ago and due to the lack of class time, worked on her tabletop tree at home. She just sent a photo of her finished tree which I am happy to share with all of you.
Moira's precious tree!

Written by Amanda Ryder |
Dec. 3, 2010 - The new year brings exciting changes to DESIGN358. The group has launched a new website and are excited to present the First Annual Trend Summit on Feb. 26-28. Dec. 3, 2010 - DESIGN358 has grown into a Floral Collective, a group of like-minded, talented independent designers from all over North America who come together and work as a cohesive team for various events in the year. The Collective is led by its creative director, Hitomi Gilliam AIFD and administered by Colin Gilliam, Yukari Mitsui AIFD and Susanne Law AIFD. The group is announcing a number of changes for 2011, including a whole new look to its website at www.design358.com. Here, visitors can learn about the 20111 Education Program, which includes a line-up of intermediate/advanced Hands-on Workshops now offered at two bi-coastal locations: Vancouver, Canada and Norwalk, Conn. (just 60 minutes north of New York City). DESIGN358 is starting off the new year with a creative bang. The launch of the First Annual Trend Summit 2011 takes place Feb. 26-28 in Burnaby, B.C., with Leatrice Eiseman, colour specialist and executive director of the Pantone Color Institute as keynote speaker to kick-off the conference for industry leaders and forward thinkers. Registration information is now available online. In the fall of 2011, the DESIGN358 will offer a European Masters Certification (EMC) Program with Tomas De Bruyne. A full brochure and registration information will be posted online so you can reserve a spot for this intensive educational opportunity. Go online to check out our new blog-style website to stay updated on all of the latest news in the world of DESIGN358 and its talented team of designers. |
The Pink Mink Protea was the focal point of Donna's bouquet. Unfortunately she was getting married at the time of year in Hawaii when the minks were not in season. I was able to connect with a wonderful grower named Ali who owns Malolo Farms on Maui and she "babied" three minks for me until harvest time. I stripped one of the minks and used the black-tipped feathery petals throughout this bouquet. Safari Sunset protea, Black Baccara roses, striped Dracena foliage, Uluhe fern shoots, "Blush" mini calla lilies, succulents, silver buttonwood leaves and a collar of red ti leaves which were grown by the bride's dad and large "rubies" all went into her bouquet. The handle was also bejeweled with ruby colored crystal pins which were made by a relative. |
