Floral Arrangement
Arrange flowers into a structure, where empty space is material too
The difference from putting flowers in a vase is structure: the angle and length of the main stems are decided first and everything else supports them, with negative space and line counted as material, so arrangements use fewer stems than people expect. Shears and a shallow dish is the start. The work is temporary by nature.
First stepWith floral shears and a shallow dish, buy three stems, fix the angle and height of the main one first, then place two more to answer it.
