Modern arrangement
Fresh it up
- This week we were honored to join the ladies of Bentlyville Garden Club to present a program of arranging with gourds as a focal point.
Large Gourds are one of natures beautiful and whimsical art forms all by themselves. Using some of these beauties from Alta Mae Farms, we considered the shape, form and finish. With other natural materials such as bittersweet, willow and seasonal flowers, we went on to create items using gourds as the focal point.
As we studied pieces for entry, table center pieces, mantles and more, we learned the art of adding a few fresh autumn materials, to these simplistic gourds, while retaining them as our unusual focal point.
Few seasons lead as much beautiful form, texture and color as does Autumn. Take time to enjoy all these natural bounty and be thankful for everything we have been blessed with.
Blessings to you,
Nancy
