Contemporary Spring Designs
using Armature Techniques
Sometimes the most elegant floral designs are also the
simplest. Take a look at the design on the right. A single flowering almond
branch and a single yellow Calla. The branch is a armature that supports the Calla.
The use of armatures is one of my favorite contemporary
design techniques. I love the fact that an armature design "showcases" the
blossoms in the design. Armature designs generally use few flowers and little or no
foliage. The designs use water instead of foam. The flowers last longer and can
easily be replaced. |
