My 1st assignment .....

Wall Decoration

What materials we have for this assignment.
9 pieces of three different size of wood, some dried flower and leaves, as well as 2 slices of dried organe, etc., what else....

Need to draw or picture my design, 2 minutes briefing on my design as well as a file to be kept in record.... woo!!!

ha.... here come my sketch.


..... =.=


.....coming soon >o<....be patient



Having spend 1hr in Jusco to do the shopping on accessories, and 2hrs to do the painting on 2 Aug (Saturday) afternoon. What I've brought are some canned paint in brown, blue and green and white color and also the thinner!! Oh!, all my fingers filled with painting, too :( Hand-treatment required for compensation ! Well, painted wood by Designer, of course, myself :) Not too bad lah!!! But it takes at least a day to make it dry........ =.= Kitchen (the painting room) was full of painting smell.... Kill time activities on Typhoon no.8 ..... working on my assignment !! Just finished the bird cage... Take a look of my preliminary design.... the bird cage tied with dried orange slice.... the upper blue-wood represented "Sky" the back green-wood is "Mountain" the lower brown-wood is "Earth"

************************************************

All sort of accessories in place, does it look ok? the most difficult part is to tied the cage.
I thought I just like a carpenter, or lantern maker... maybe next time I could tied a ribbon lantern lah!!! it's my favourite lantern when I was a kid... :)




********************************************
Here come the finished masterpiece......

My 1st hand-made wall decoration....

If possible, we should provide bag with cup stick on the base, so that the bouquet can be place in the cup filled with water.

DFA Class - Biedermeier Style Bridal Bouquet 2008 July 24

Biedermeier Style Bridal Bouquet

What is Biedermeier??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biedermeier


Flowers : Rose(red), Dianthus(pink), Hydrangea(purple), Gaultheria shallon & Asparagus virgatus


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This hand-tied bouquet is done by tutor... isn't it beautiful & elegant :)


after placing a rose in the central of the hydrangea, use asparagus as separator between hydrangea and dianthus;



Adding Dianthus one by one in spiral order, adjust them as round/circle as possible. 13nos. of Dianthus has been used for this layer;



For beginner, better to add one layer of asparagus before adding roses,but for tutor, it's not a problem without them;



Same as previous layer, adjust these roses as round as possible, it's about 14nos. roses used; trimmed gaultheria (3-4 pcs of leave in one stem) add to the base as a protective layer;



Tied the flowers with string before using ribbon for decoration;

a standard hand-tied bouquet should be able to stand; see it won't fall lah!

using ribbon tie and making knots of each round;

See!! such a femininity bridal bouquet after adding ribbon handle;

coming next is the classwork..... wow!!! need more practising, right?
