I was given a large and a small foam ball and some foliage.
What would you do with those?
With some pins from my tool box, I used Laurel leaves back to front because I loved the underside best
And layered them around and around overlapping them as they would in nature - I liked the effect.
My tutor said that it looks like an artichoke - that was a compliment by the way!
The smaller one - using the same laurel leaves but the right way around and randomly.
With the addition of some flowering foliage
A bit of conifer from behind the hall
A couple of red baubles (not my idea)
Some wild ivy with berry heads
Popped in here and there
Finished off with some sweet smelling pinks and 7 roses in bud
Finished!
Sorry about the photos - it was too dark to that them indoors and so I had to try and take some in the garden room with a glass roof and the arrangement on a glass table - not a good idea!

Beautiful, Lottie - very natural and relaxing. Your tutor's right - the big one does look like an artichoke. You've really made something beautiful from bits and bobs here - well done, you!
Wow how good is that--very arty and clever.
