Time: 12 minutes and 56 seconds | Season: All Year Round, adapted to suit style and event
In this tutorial, explore structure and softness with a wire cage of Salix Salim (willow). The design pairs natural woven mechanics with a bouquet of pink florals, demonstrating how armatures can provide creative movement and a sustainable alternative to floral foam.
Tips & Techniques:
- Shape your Salix stems while fresh and flexible — they’ll hold beautifully once dry.
- Build the cage first, then weave stems through openings for a natural, organic flow.
- Use tonal variations of pink for subtle depth and cohesion.
