Hello :) Today, I'm out early, with plans to create a flower chandelier...
I'll be gathering cosmos, which is in full bloom,
making sure to gather white, pink and purple flowers.
Stopping to gather a few willow branches.
Stripping the willow branches of their leaves, to create three rings for the chandelier.
I'm making each ring a different size to eventually create three tiers of flowers.
Each tier will be a different colour, and so I'm first separating the flowers.
I'm dividing the flowers into small bunches, and laying them out evenly around the willow ring, before tying each bunch to the ring.
Repeating the process with each of the two smaller willow rings.
I used twine to tie the next two rings inside the first tier, making sure to hang them a little lower each time, to create the tiered effect.
The flowers will eventually dry and fade, but I think there will be beauty in that too... :)
