I didn’t have a chance to take pictures when I set up the arrangements, but here are some  that I took in the studio, before delivery. Embellishing blank canvasses of wood is so much fun!!!

The minute I saw this piece of driftwood, I had to buy it. It looks gorgeous on it’s own and it is great fun to decorate !

Usually the log arrangements are all about texture and I use very few flowers; after all texture reigns  in the forests.

But for this memorial service, I learned that the woods and flowers had been favorites of the client’s father. So for once, flowers prevailed.
