Poinsetta Encased with Spruce - 01/12/11


This was constructed using a chicken wire effect with wires.  The gaps needed to be larger than ordinary chicken wire to allow for the spruce to be weaved in and out of the wholes.



The length and amount to be made is dependant on how large the plant is.

The design was supposed to be placed in a pot or container, but for me personally it i liked it on a big plate/dish with a piece of traditional ribbon, for christmas.



A Cinnamon dusted pine cone pick and Lotus head were added.



I did like this design but found it quite time consuming.  The spruce is always a nice touch at christmas but can sometimes be difficult to work with as it is not that flexible and doesn't always stay in the desired position.
