One man's Trash is Another's Lawn Ornament?Read the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only".
» wall_flower - had to laugh I'll be looking for this book. I am a avid trash to treasure person. Nothing thrills me more than going from ugly to great. And I have taken it too far at times. Laughing (in embarrassment?)as it went back to the trash! (Thank goodness the results were never published!) I've also seen others raise their brows as "treasures" were brought home or even after being proudly displayed. Now something within me is leaning towards industrial trash - scaring even me! Maybe this book will save me from these new tendencies.Koren htpp://www.wallflowers.net -- posted by wall_flower » Minnie - Liked your article Hi Eileen,I really liked your article! I like the way you included the dried flower arrangement. I was a silk floral class assistant and it's really fun to experiment with different things. I've even used an old coat-hanger wire, covered with floral tape and attached to dried flowers so that I could arrange them in the floral foam when I wanted them to stay in one spot or in a basket. I usually use the stiffer stuff, but once in a while when I have a temporary arrangement, I will use dried moss and arrange one stem at a time when the flowers are short. You can always extend the stems of short flowers with wires, too. The floral tape is a little tricky, but once you realize you have to stretch it as you're covering the wire, it gives you more options. Thanks for putting my article in the special event. Your efforts are really appreciated! -- posted by Minnie
