Behind today's virtual door on the advent calendar is a Steampunk-inspired wreath by Zoe Hawkins of Herne Bay Flower Club
Zoe calls her design "Strictly Steampunk" and says "Inspired by the article in the Winter Flower Arranger, page 29, I sent for a packet of assorted wooden cut out cogs. My base was an old smooth willow woven ring that I had kept from a Vanguard Workshop. I only had navy blue spray [no black left] for the twigs and I acryllic painted the cogs gold and copper. They became my flowers. I found the sparkly holly leaves, that had once been a lucky sale buy, that seemed to soften the hard metallic look that I was aiming to achieve. The copper coloured cones were old tree decorations and I felt they said Christmas. Contemporary, Traditional, Strictly Steampunk ??? You choose. Don't forget to come back tomorrow to see what is "behind" the next virtual door Comments are closed.
