Debbie's work is fabulous. I would love to learn how to make beaded flowers but now is not the season in my life to do it so I commissioned Debbie to make me beaded wheat heads. Her prices are absolutely wonderful.
Once I got the wheat heads, I had to decide how to make the arrangement. My arrangement is unorthodox but I like it (of course, I always love contrasting textures and elements). I used the beaded wheat heads, pheasant feathers, and twigs.
I will be sharing at these places:
I'm usually not a big fan of "flower" arrangements but I like this one a lot. The feathers make the beaded wheat shine more it seems.

ReplyDeleteSweet Annie (Artemisia Annua) is used in primitive crafts as filler for bowls,arrangements, wreaths, etc wherever you need a little extra "prim". It keeps it sweet smell once dry.

Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea, Melissa - beaded wheat heads. I've never seen them done in beads before. I had some vintage beaded flowers, but got rid of them, then regretted having done so. I'm sure your mom will love the arrangement.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
