Woodland Demo at the Yard, Garden and Patio Show
Last November, HPSO extended an invitation to do a demonstration of woodland arrangements at the Yard, Garden and Patio Show this past weekend. It was time to put on that extroverted hat again!
It seemed like a good idea to make 3 sample arrangements ahead of time. A huge thank you to Ted Mishima for taking these wonderful photos in my back yard, before heading to the Convention Center.
And many thanks to Nancy Goldman for offering this opportunity!

Blooming Branches and Spring Flowers
Bring the outside in and learn how to force blooming branches! Quince, cherry branches or forsythia arranged by themselves en masse look dramatic. Learn how paired with other spring flowers like daffodils, tulips, hellebore and hyacinths they make exquisite arrangements. Come and join us for this fun class that will remind you that spring truly is around the corner!

Botanical Headpiece
Last month, photographer Ted Mishima asked if I would do a botanical headpiece for a photo shoot. He was interested in submitting images for a show exhibiting alternative forms of photography, and was especially interested in the technique of wet plates.
When he showed some images of botanical headpieces, I had absolutely no idea how I would go about this, but I was excited to tackle the challenge. It was fun! Ted also took many digital images.
A huge Thank you! Ted for inviting me to collaborate on this wonderful project and many thanks to Candace: you were fantastic!
