1 00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:03,859 - Now we're going to cut some leafs. 2 00:00:03,859 --> 00:00:05,930 And again, I use the Canson paper. 3 00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:08,863 This is just the plain green Canson. 4 00:00:08,863 --> 00:00:12,339 And I like to free-hand cut all of my leafs. 5 00:00:12,339 --> 00:00:15,156 It's something that really makes them 6 00:00:15,156 --> 00:00:18,573 look like my leafs, you know, my flowers. 7 00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:24,037 I think it really helps have them have a stylized effect. 8 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:29,490 Where I'm trying to capture both the movement 9 00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:32,657 and the natural curl of all the leafs. 10 00:00:33,693 --> 00:00:35,890 They're ultimately three dimensional things 11 00:00:35,890 --> 00:00:38,023 that I'm kind of flattening out. 12 00:00:38,023 --> 00:00:39,655 Most of the leafs I end up folding 13 00:00:39,655 --> 00:00:42,572 veins into to help help that along. 14 00:00:43,015 --> 00:00:45,895 But for this one we don't fold it too much. 15 00:00:45,895 --> 00:00:48,001 These templates are all available in the book 16 00:00:48,001 --> 00:00:51,068 and you can also download them from the website. 17 00:00:51,068 --> 00:00:53,158 I recommend starting out using the templates 18 00:00:53,158 --> 00:00:55,055 and you can blow them up and then trace them 19 00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:57,438 on the Canson paper and then cut them out. 20 00:00:57,438 --> 00:00:59,567 It'll help, in the beginning, give you 21 00:00:59,567 --> 00:01:01,768 the stylized look that I really think 22 00:01:01,768 --> 00:01:03,986 helps make the flowers look special. 23 00:01:03,986 --> 00:01:05,699 And then once you get more comfortable, 24 00:01:05,699 --> 00:01:09,466 and definitely the easier leafs you can cut free-hand. 25 00:01:09,466 --> 00:01:12,147 You don't have to do them all tracing a template. 26 00:01:12,147 --> 00:01:13,976 Once you get the hang of it, it's something 27 00:01:13,976 --> 00:01:16,164 easy that you can just do on your own. 28 00:01:16,164 --> 00:01:17,597 And it'll be much quicker. 29 00:01:17,597 --> 00:01:20,278 And again, you want all your cuts to be smooth 30 00:01:20,278 --> 00:01:24,445 and fluid and not have any, you know, chunky, rough areas. 31 00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:32,316 'Cause that'll ultimately make everything just look better. 32 00:01:32,481 --> 00:01:35,814 Then once you've cut out the outer edge, 33 00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:39,481 you can kind of create a little 34 00:01:39,481 --> 00:01:41,957 star shape in the middle, here. 35 00:01:41,957 --> 00:01:44,128 And that's how we'll attach it to the stem. 36 00:01:44,128 --> 00:01:45,617 This leaf is a little bit different than 37 00:01:45,617 --> 00:01:48,798 all the other leafs that we do in the book, 38 00:01:48,798 --> 00:01:50,784 'cause it's attached in this manner. 39 00:01:50,784 --> 00:01:53,129 All the other leafs are generally 40 00:01:53,129 --> 00:01:55,965 attached to wire and then attached to the stem. 41 00:01:55,965 --> 00:01:57,541 But this one goes right on the stem 42 00:01:57,541 --> 00:01:59,879 just like this, without any wire. 43 00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:02,495 And basically, you just kind of take it and 44 00:02:02,495 --> 00:02:05,912 wrap it around the stem wherever it fits. 45 00:02:06,346 --> 00:02:08,013 Securely, like this. 46 00:02:09,411 --> 00:02:11,520 See how all the prongs are sticking out? 47 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,959 You basically want to get them 48 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:14,639 flush with the stem and then 49 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,639 attach it with the tape right there, 50 00:02:17,998 --> 00:02:22,165 so that it's secured with all those little prongs, 51 00:02:23,792 --> 00:02:25,913 being held in place with the tape. 52 00:02:25,913 --> 00:02:27,689 You can see that the leaf has overlapped 53 00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:29,412 here a little bit, and that's fine. 54 00:02:29,412 --> 00:02:31,413 That makes it look more natural, and you can see 55 00:02:31,413 --> 00:02:33,894 that we've kind of gripped all of the prongs 56 00:02:33,894 --> 00:02:37,964 underneath the tape and then attached it onto itself. 57 00:02:37,964 --> 00:02:39,688 And once that's done, you can see also 58 00:02:39,688 --> 00:02:42,037 that it's not straight up on the flower 59 00:02:42,037 --> 00:02:43,818 on that tape line that we keep talking about. 60 00:02:43,818 --> 00:02:45,103 It's a little bit lower down, and that's 61 00:02:45,103 --> 00:02:48,008 pretty realistic for this actual bloom. 62 00:02:48,008 --> 00:02:50,426 The leafs aren't meant to be way up there, 63 00:02:50,426 --> 00:02:53,787 but more kind of little bit down the stem. 64 00:02:53,787 --> 00:02:56,815 So that's what we're going for in this flower. 65 00:02:56,815 --> 00:02:59,036 And I'm gonna just make sure to cover 66 00:02:59,036 --> 00:03:00,869 that area with just a little bit more tape 67 00:03:00,869 --> 00:03:02,285 where you can kind of slightly see 68 00:03:02,285 --> 00:03:04,952 some of the prongs sticking out. 69 00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:09,360 Just like that. 70 00:03:09,477 --> 00:03:12,004 Now all of the prongs are all covered. 71 00:03:12,004 --> 00:03:13,906 And then I'm just gonna bend the leaf 72 00:03:13,906 --> 00:03:15,339 a little bit back from the petal. 73 00:03:15,339 --> 00:03:16,839 So that's perfect. 74 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,631 And I'll continue, then, adding leafs to 75 00:03:19,631 --> 00:03:22,108 maybe one-third of the rest of the stems. 76 00:03:22,108 --> 00:03:23,611 Not all of the flowers will get 77 00:03:23,611 --> 00:03:25,528 leafs attached to them. 78 00:03:25,818 --> 00:03:27,848 But if I was gonna use this as 79 00:03:27,848 --> 00:03:29,817 a single object, or maybe make three, 80 00:03:29,817 --> 00:03:31,059 then I would make sure that they 81 00:03:31,059 --> 00:03:32,848 all had the leaf on it. 82 00:03:32,848 --> 00:03:36,539 They look really nice, just a couple stems in a vase. 83 00:03:36,539 --> 00:03:40,456 Add a couple more leafs to a couple more stems. 84 00:03:40,998 --> 00:03:43,084 This can be a little bit fiddly to attach, 85 00:03:43,084 --> 00:03:45,274 but you just have to pinch it on 86 00:03:45,274 --> 00:03:47,774 tight and use finger strength. 87 00:03:49,732 --> 00:03:51,628 Even if you do trace the leafs, 88 00:03:51,628 --> 00:03:54,966 I think it's nice to try to mix it up a little bit 89 00:03:54,966 --> 00:03:57,658 and rotate the way that you're using the leaf, 90 00:03:57,658 --> 00:04:00,836 or try to have it have a slightly different shape 91 00:04:00,836 --> 00:04:03,428 by repeating part of the template. 92 00:04:03,428 --> 00:04:04,788 You know, just to help give it 93 00:04:04,788 --> 00:04:07,288 as natural effect as possible. 94 00:04:08,927 --> 00:04:12,010 Again, it can be a little bit tricky, 95 00:04:12,481 --> 00:04:14,953 but you just gotta use a lot of strength, 96 00:04:14,953 --> 00:04:16,286 finger strength. 97 00:04:16,816 --> 00:04:19,483 And it can overlap a little bit. 98 00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:28,540 And once you've attached it on, 99 00:04:28,540 --> 00:04:32,040 you can kind of fine-tune it a little bit. 100 00:04:34,648 --> 00:04:37,164 But again, you don't want to use too much tape. 101 00:04:37,164 --> 00:04:38,058 So I'm gonna want to make sure 102 00:04:38,058 --> 00:04:41,391 to get at least one of each color bloom. 103 00:05:07,097 --> 00:05:08,430 Do a purple one. 104 00:05:17,466 --> 00:05:18,976 And again, at this point if any 105 00:05:18,976 --> 00:05:20,554 of your stem-wire is showing, 106 00:05:20,554 --> 00:05:23,804 it's a good time to kind of tape it up. 107 00:05:25,662 --> 00:05:29,329 I like to start with a few blooms at a time, 108 00:05:31,338 --> 00:05:33,429 and there's many different ways to arrange flowers. 109 00:05:33,429 --> 00:05:35,219 I want to make a bouquet. 110 00:05:35,219 --> 00:05:38,969 I kind of rely on my fresh flower background. 111 00:05:39,002 --> 00:05:42,252 And I like to always group two or three 112 00:05:43,391 --> 00:05:44,980 of the same color blooms together. 113 00:05:44,980 --> 00:05:46,886 I'm not a designer that likes to 114 00:05:46,886 --> 00:05:48,720 polka dot colors all around. 115 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,940 I like to usually put two purple together, 116 00:05:51,940 --> 00:05:53,536 and then maybe a plum, 117 00:05:53,536 --> 00:05:55,792 two red together, and then a light pink. 118 00:05:55,792 --> 00:05:57,914 And so I'm creating combinations. 119 00:05:57,914 --> 00:06:00,018 I'm gonna slowly start building out, 120 00:06:00,018 --> 00:06:02,538 creating combinations that I like. 121 00:06:02,538 --> 00:06:04,224 If you're gonna make this a bridal bouquet, 122 00:06:04,224 --> 00:06:06,017 you're gonna make it slightly a different shape 123 00:06:06,017 --> 00:06:06,909 than you would if you were gonna 124 00:06:06,909 --> 00:06:09,216 make it as an arrangement for a vase. 125 00:06:09,216 --> 00:06:11,013 Of course, a bridal bouquet is gonna be 126 00:06:11,013 --> 00:06:14,490 more frontal and kind of a little bit flat, 127 00:06:14,490 --> 00:06:17,141 so you can hold it against your body a little bit better. 128 00:06:17,141 --> 00:06:19,533 So really, all the flowers are gonna be kind of in a 129 00:06:19,533 --> 00:06:22,653 quarter of a sphere, is what you would say. 130 00:06:22,653 --> 00:06:25,569 Like, if we have a full sphere of flowers, 131 00:06:25,569 --> 00:06:27,759 it's gonna be the front quarter of a sphere 132 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,661 and if you're making it as a bouquet to put in a vase 133 00:06:30,661 --> 00:06:32,454 you want it to kind of be the half, 134 00:06:32,454 --> 00:06:35,063 the whole dome, like the whole top of a sphere. 135 00:06:35,063 --> 00:06:37,684 That's kind of a good way to think about it. 136 00:06:37,684 --> 00:06:39,358 In a vase, you would want it to be 137 00:06:39,358 --> 00:06:41,397 looking good from all different sides. 138 00:06:41,397 --> 00:06:43,242 Unless you're doing a one-sided arrangement, 139 00:06:43,242 --> 00:06:45,628 then you could make it similar to the bridal bouquet. 140 00:06:45,628 --> 00:06:48,686 But if you want to have it be an arrangement 141 00:06:48,686 --> 00:06:50,197 that's viewed from all sides you would 142 00:06:50,197 --> 00:06:51,401 want to think of it more as the 143 00:06:51,401 --> 00:06:53,746 top dome of a sphere, the top half. 144 00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,766 You're gonna make sure as you go along, 145 00:06:55,766 --> 00:06:58,773 that each flower is fluffed and looks pretty. 146 00:06:58,773 --> 00:07:02,328 You can probably start bending most of the flowers 147 00:07:02,328 --> 00:07:03,717 as we've already done here, 148 00:07:03,717 --> 00:07:05,967 at a 30 or 50 degree angle, 149 00:07:06,148 --> 00:07:08,815 depending on where they're gonna 150 00:07:09,156 --> 00:07:10,989 go in the arrangement. 151 00:07:11,152 --> 00:07:12,515 But you want to always be conscious 152 00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:14,684 of the stems and not getting tangled, 153 00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:16,552 especially if it's a bridal bouquet. 154 00:07:16,552 --> 00:07:18,200 So you want to keep the bends 155 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,337 of the stems as neat as possible. 156 00:07:20,337 --> 00:07:22,817 So I like to start where I would imagine 157 00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:25,010 the center-top of the arrangement to be 158 00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:27,487 and work around so that the stems are not 159 00:07:27,487 --> 00:07:30,283 getting tangled and bent in strange ways, kind of. 160 00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:32,533 I'll show you more as I go. 161 00:07:33,112 --> 00:07:35,561 But basically, you're gonna kind of start keeping, 162 00:07:35,561 --> 00:07:38,461 you know, getting these relationships. 163 00:07:38,461 --> 00:07:41,603 So I have two flowers, I'm gonna nestle 164 00:07:41,603 --> 00:07:43,655 them next to each other like that. 165 00:07:43,655 --> 00:07:46,250 And I've bent the stem right flush 166 00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:49,255 to the other stem and I'm gonna tape it in place. 167 00:07:49,255 --> 00:07:51,755 If you need to tape your wire, 168 00:07:52,833 --> 00:07:56,231 you don't want to ever have un-taped wire showing, 169 00:07:56,231 --> 00:07:59,148 so tape all your flowers to the end 170 00:07:59,352 --> 00:08:02,613 at this point so you don't have any exposed wire. 171 00:08:02,613 --> 00:08:04,251 If I come across one that's not taped, 172 00:08:04,251 --> 00:08:06,585 I'll probably put the bouquet down and make sure 173 00:08:06,585 --> 00:08:09,060 that it's taped before I add it to the bouquet. 174 00:08:09,060 --> 00:08:10,761 One way that paper flowers are different 175 00:08:10,761 --> 00:08:12,893 than fresh flowers is that you can't 176 00:08:12,893 --> 00:08:16,352 push them together as closely as you would a normal flower. 177 00:08:16,352 --> 00:08:18,378 They interact a little bit different. 178 00:08:18,378 --> 00:08:20,282 It takes a little while to get used to 179 00:08:20,282 --> 00:08:24,033 how the paper flowers interact next to each other. 180 00:08:24,033 --> 00:08:26,327 And basically, they do better with 181 00:08:26,327 --> 00:08:28,577 more space in between them. 182 00:08:28,741 --> 00:08:30,297 That's kind of good, 'cause you actually 183 00:08:30,297 --> 00:08:32,969 really need less flowers to create a bouquet. 184 00:08:32,969 --> 00:08:35,835 If I was making this bouquet with fresh anemones, 185 00:08:35,835 --> 00:08:38,448 I'd probably need 30 or 40 stems. 186 00:08:38,448 --> 00:08:40,492 In making it in paper I'm only gonna need, 187 00:08:40,492 --> 00:08:42,497 you know, 12 to 20, depending on 188 00:08:42,497 --> 00:08:44,144 how many blooms you want to use, 189 00:08:44,144 --> 00:08:45,811 but they go further. 190 00:08:46,691 --> 00:08:48,514 So now I'm gonna pick my next color. 191 00:08:48,514 --> 00:08:50,514 Pink flower, pink bloom. 192 00:08:52,270 --> 00:08:53,554 And often, you know, it's a 193 00:08:53,554 --> 00:08:54,977 bit of a decision-making process. 194 00:08:54,977 --> 00:08:57,679 It's kind of like you place it and 195 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,846 figure out a place that it works well. 196 00:09:01,467 --> 00:09:03,390 I often think it's really helpful 197 00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:05,331 to make bridal bouquets and have a mirror 198 00:09:05,331 --> 00:09:07,552 that you can look at them in, you know, 199 00:09:07,552 --> 00:09:10,224 holding it in position and look in the mirror, 200 00:09:10,224 --> 00:09:13,216 and that's really a good way to see what you're doing. 201 00:09:13,216 --> 00:09:14,334 Once they're in position and 202 00:09:14,334 --> 00:09:15,748 they've been taped in place, 203 00:09:15,748 --> 00:09:18,714 you can adjust the angle a bit more. 204 00:09:18,714 --> 00:09:20,464 And then keep adding. 205 00:09:20,758 --> 00:09:22,468 This is kind of creating a hole here 206 00:09:22,468 --> 00:09:24,053 where I have three and so I'm gonna 207 00:09:24,053 --> 00:09:25,591 use a bloom that has a leaf to 208 00:09:25,591 --> 00:09:27,841 kind of fill in that space. 209 00:09:39,527 --> 00:09:40,679 And tape it in place. 210 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,432 And you don't want to tape, 211 00:09:42,432 --> 00:09:44,043 every time you're taping something in place, 212 00:09:44,043 --> 00:09:46,297 you don't want to tape too much. 213 00:09:46,297 --> 00:09:47,567 I maybe tape two inches. 214 00:09:47,567 --> 00:09:48,807 I'm just tacking it in place, 215 00:09:48,807 --> 00:09:50,949 I call it, like in sewing. 216 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:52,952 In case you need to cut it apart, 217 00:09:52,952 --> 00:09:54,997 and you've gone down a road you don't want to go, 218 00:09:54,997 --> 00:09:56,287 and you want to change something. 219 00:09:56,287 --> 00:09:59,321 Then you can kind of cut this tape easily apart. 220 00:09:59,321 --> 00:10:02,041 If you had taped it a whole bunch, 221 00:10:02,041 --> 00:10:04,078 it would just be much more difficult to do. 222 00:10:04,078 --> 00:10:05,676 So I like to just kind of tack it in place, 223 00:10:05,676 --> 00:10:06,895 and then when I'm totally done 224 00:10:06,895 --> 00:10:08,455 and happy with everything, 225 00:10:08,455 --> 00:10:10,247 then I complete the whole stem. 226 00:10:10,247 --> 00:10:12,271 I think I'd like to then add a red bloom 227 00:10:12,271 --> 00:10:14,271 and put that right here. 228 00:10:18,216 --> 00:10:22,383 We do have quite a crazy selection of colors here. 229 00:10:23,389 --> 00:10:25,889 So you wanna just be aware of, 230 00:10:25,979 --> 00:10:28,312 you know, limiting yourself. 231 00:10:29,232 --> 00:10:30,716 You don't want to totally go crazy 232 00:10:30,716 --> 00:10:34,133 or it'll look like an insane arrangement. 233 00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:37,090 When you look at the profile of your bouquet, 234 00:10:37,090 --> 00:10:39,432 you don't want everything to be on the same plane. 235 00:10:39,432 --> 00:10:41,627 You kind of want to have some blooms 236 00:10:41,627 --> 00:10:44,377 in a little bit deeper, this one, 237 00:10:44,955 --> 00:10:47,372 and then some out a bit more. 238 00:10:47,861 --> 00:10:52,028 And that also makes it look more natural and realistic. 239 00:10:59,327 --> 00:11:02,363 The fact that everything is on wire is just like wonderful, 240 00:11:02,363 --> 00:11:05,015 because you can really really really 241 00:11:05,015 --> 00:11:06,917 make every bloom look in the 242 00:11:06,917 --> 00:11:08,215 direction that you want it to. 243 00:11:08,215 --> 00:11:10,318 But you also have to kind of fight that desire, 244 00:11:10,318 --> 00:11:12,615 'cause it'll make it look really fake 245 00:11:12,615 --> 00:11:15,384 if everything is perfectly facing outward 246 00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:16,967 and perfectly even. 247 00:11:17,167 --> 00:11:19,404 So you want to kind of try to 248 00:11:19,404 --> 00:11:21,437 emulate nature to a certain amount. 249 00:11:21,437 --> 00:11:22,666 And so you just don't want to go 250 00:11:22,666 --> 00:11:24,259 totally crazy with the perfection 251 00:11:24,259 --> 00:11:26,823 that you can achieve with something that's wired. 252 00:11:26,823 --> 00:11:28,752 I kind of do a lot of this placing and, 253 00:11:28,752 --> 00:11:31,431 do I like it there, do I not like it there? 254 00:11:31,431 --> 00:11:34,514 That looks pretty, like it's the top. 255 00:11:34,562 --> 00:11:36,145 Top of the bouquet. 256 00:11:43,109 --> 00:11:44,318 Tacking it in place. 257 00:11:44,318 --> 00:11:45,600 Then you can kind of see that I'm doing 258 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,681 two color, two color, two colors, 259 00:11:47,681 --> 00:11:51,212 and then these are, you know, in the same family. 260 00:11:51,212 --> 00:11:54,518 So maybe then I bring in the other purple, 261 00:11:54,518 --> 00:11:56,855 to kind of relate to this grouping of purple. 262 00:11:56,855 --> 00:11:58,258 But you don't want to start to 263 00:11:58,258 --> 00:12:00,164 make like lines like this. 264 00:12:00,164 --> 00:12:04,081 So you want to break that up a little bit, too. 265 00:12:05,828 --> 00:12:08,036 That looks nice, like it's kind of falling out. 266 00:12:08,036 --> 00:12:10,849 And the side of this flower is a really pretty effect. 267 00:12:10,849 --> 00:12:13,766 So that's a good place to put that. 268 00:12:17,564 --> 00:12:18,897 Now add a peach. 269 00:12:20,495 --> 00:12:22,660 I like the peach 'cause it kind of 270 00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:25,141 throws off the color palette a little bit. 271 00:12:25,141 --> 00:12:28,974 Without the peach it's a bit more predictable. 272 00:12:29,289 --> 00:12:32,901 It's kind of a little bit unexpected to have the peach. 273 00:12:32,901 --> 00:12:36,068 And then I'm gonna tape that in place. 274 00:12:41,653 --> 00:12:44,236 And then again, you can kind of 275 00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:46,835 adjust it once it's in place. 276 00:12:46,835 --> 00:12:48,311 You can start to see the way all these 277 00:12:48,311 --> 00:12:52,061 relationships between the petals are created. 278 00:12:52,666 --> 00:12:55,587 You don't wanna have the flower being smushed. 279 00:12:55,587 --> 00:12:57,258 It'll take on this shape, 280 00:12:57,258 --> 00:12:59,279 like where that petal's smushed. 281 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,593 So you kinda just want to make sure 282 00:13:00,593 --> 00:13:02,710 that they have enough room to breathe. 283 00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:04,443 That'll make them look as pretty as 284 00:13:04,443 --> 00:13:07,193 possible for as long as possible. 285 00:13:07,997 --> 00:13:11,742 Now let's add another peach over here, I think. 286 00:13:11,742 --> 00:13:12,797 I'm gonna tape it in place and then 287 00:13:12,797 --> 00:13:15,297 adjust it after I've taped it. 288 00:13:25,065 --> 00:13:27,148 Okay, then another white. 289 00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:35,327 Okay, right here. 290 00:13:40,167 --> 00:13:41,750 Tack that in place. 291 00:13:45,798 --> 00:13:46,641 And you're just kind of working 292 00:13:46,641 --> 00:13:47,855 around the whole arrangement and 293 00:13:47,855 --> 00:13:49,325 thinking about these relationships 294 00:13:49,325 --> 00:13:52,408 and the color combinations as you go. 295 00:13:52,630 --> 00:13:53,687 These three, I want to make sure 296 00:13:53,687 --> 00:13:56,343 to bring this color over to this side. 297 00:13:56,343 --> 00:13:58,302 So I'm gonna pick a red. 298 00:13:58,302 --> 00:14:01,969 And we have one of those going on right now. 299 00:14:02,373 --> 00:14:04,084 You know, depending on what the project is 300 00:14:04,084 --> 00:14:06,584 I think sometimes it's nice to 301 00:14:06,890 --> 00:14:09,065 just include one red flower. 302 00:14:09,065 --> 00:14:11,328 But, you know, just pick one 303 00:14:11,328 --> 00:14:13,213 little quirky detail like that, 304 00:14:13,213 --> 00:14:16,963 that isn't in the bouquet two to three times. 305 00:14:17,745 --> 00:14:20,906 But in this case I like to have this balance. 306 00:14:20,906 --> 00:14:23,186 But you could feel free to do that. 307 00:14:23,186 --> 00:14:25,936 And then let's do another salmon. 308 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,763 Maybe this one'll be more looking up, 309 00:14:32,297 --> 00:14:35,890 right next to this purple that's looking down. 310 00:14:35,890 --> 00:14:39,307 And that's kind of a nice natural effect. 311 00:14:50,705 --> 00:14:53,682 You can see that I've kind of created 312 00:14:53,682 --> 00:14:55,558 a little bit of play there in the wire, 313 00:14:55,558 --> 00:14:58,361 so that I can adjust it how I want. 314 00:14:58,361 --> 00:14:59,421 If I want it to be longer 315 00:14:59,421 --> 00:15:02,254 I have a little bit of play there. 316 00:15:02,702 --> 00:15:04,820 You can see the front, it could be longer, 317 00:15:04,820 --> 00:15:06,487 it could be shorter. 318 00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:13,244 Okay. 319 00:15:14,348 --> 00:15:15,582 Something subtle like that, 320 00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:16,910 having the flower face up 321 00:15:16,910 --> 00:15:19,044 with one next to it facing down, 322 00:15:19,044 --> 00:15:21,614 really helps in the overall natural effect. 323 00:15:21,614 --> 00:15:23,845 It's like a little thing but it 324 00:15:23,845 --> 00:15:27,428 does add a lot to that more natural effect. 325 00:15:29,286 --> 00:15:31,877 'Cause that's what the flowers do in real life. 326 00:15:31,877 --> 00:15:34,320 They curl a lot, in all different directions. 327 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,662 Up and down and left and right. 328 00:15:35,662 --> 00:15:37,995 And so if you can capture as 329 00:15:38,944 --> 00:15:41,192 much of that as possible that's good. 330 00:15:41,192 --> 00:15:45,192 And then maybe another purple or blue over here. 331 00:15:47,088 --> 00:15:48,421 That looks good. 332 00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:50,770 So of course, I'm trying to create 333 00:15:50,770 --> 00:15:52,663 movement across the bouquet. 334 00:15:52,663 --> 00:15:55,642 If you look at the purple flowers in the arrangement, 335 00:15:55,642 --> 00:15:57,046 there are the two up here and then 336 00:15:57,046 --> 00:15:58,634 your eye is drawn down to the bottom 337 00:15:58,634 --> 00:16:01,377 and then your eye is drawn over here to the side. 338 00:16:01,377 --> 00:16:03,422 And the same thing with the pink and red, 339 00:16:03,422 --> 00:16:04,767 or the salmon and red, 340 00:16:04,767 --> 00:16:07,876 where it's kind of pulling you like this. 341 00:16:07,876 --> 00:16:09,388 And you have the white on the opposite 342 00:16:09,388 --> 00:16:11,706 and the yellow across from each other, 343 00:16:11,706 --> 00:16:14,179 so your eye is being pulled around 344 00:16:14,179 --> 00:16:15,676 the bouquet when you look at it. 345 00:16:15,676 --> 00:16:17,776 And you always wanna think about that 346 00:16:17,776 --> 00:16:21,193 when you're creating flower arrangements. 347 00:16:23,042 --> 00:16:24,336 And you're basically wrapping around 348 00:16:24,336 --> 00:16:27,116 flowers around the sides and the tops 349 00:16:27,116 --> 00:16:28,524 so that it's gonna be viewed. 350 00:16:28,524 --> 00:16:29,811 We'll want to get some more in here 351 00:16:29,811 --> 00:16:31,996 so that it looks good from the side. 352 00:16:31,996 --> 00:16:33,079 And the side. 353 00:16:33,204 --> 00:16:34,375 And this is actually gonna cover 354 00:16:34,375 --> 00:16:36,497 a little bit of the hands in the front. 355 00:16:36,497 --> 00:16:39,234 So we just kind of keep wrapping around the flowers. 356 00:16:39,234 --> 00:16:41,237 You may not be able to see them all from the front. 357 00:16:41,237 --> 00:16:43,320 Like it's kind of nice to 358 00:16:43,444 --> 00:16:45,363 tuck a pink in here in the bottom. 359 00:16:45,363 --> 00:16:49,030 Again, then pulling your eye down over here. 360 00:16:51,015 --> 00:16:52,437 Maybe try to get that upward effect 361 00:16:52,437 --> 00:16:55,854 that we got with this pink one over here. 362 00:16:59,141 --> 00:17:01,719 So I've bent the wire up and then down. 363 00:17:01,719 --> 00:17:05,358 I'm gonna put it in place and then I'm gonna 364 00:17:05,358 --> 00:17:08,775 adjust it once it's been tacked in place, 365 00:17:08,796 --> 00:17:12,629 giving me enough room to kind of play with it. 366 00:17:13,155 --> 00:17:14,566 I think we'll add one or two more blooms, 367 00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:16,349 and then we're about done. 368 00:17:16,349 --> 00:17:18,680 I'm noticing like a slight hole right up in here, 369 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,597 that think it'd be nice to have bloom in there. 370 00:17:24,446 --> 00:17:27,283 But I think I want it to be purple. 371 00:17:27,283 --> 00:17:30,033 Let me look at that all together. 372 00:17:30,582 --> 00:17:32,524 I'm always looking for things that kind of 373 00:17:32,524 --> 00:17:34,490 pop with my eye when I put it in place, 374 00:17:34,490 --> 00:17:35,963 and then your eye goes, oh! 375 00:17:35,963 --> 00:17:37,716 Yeah, that looks, that looks right! 376 00:17:37,716 --> 00:17:39,388 You know, that's hard to explain but 377 00:17:39,388 --> 00:17:40,961 it's good to kind of train yourself 378 00:17:40,961 --> 00:17:42,967 to be looking for what is stimulating your eye 379 00:17:42,967 --> 00:17:45,550 when you're creating something. 380 00:17:45,746 --> 00:17:47,477 I don't want it to be the same heighth as the white one, 381 00:17:47,477 --> 00:17:49,053 I kind of like the white one being a the top, 382 00:17:49,053 --> 00:17:52,720 so I'm gonna just put it a little bit lower. 383 00:17:52,763 --> 00:17:54,775 And then tack it in place. 384 00:17:54,775 --> 00:17:57,108 And I think it's about done.
