My entry for todays Flickr theme ...Combination of soft and sharp.
Pinholders are not used much nowadays in floristry with the introduction of Oasis foam which absorbs water and holds flowers in place. They are still quite popular in Japanese arrangements where only a few flowers and foliage is used.
Sorry I have not been commenting so much this week I have had several falls and twisted my body up a few times including my wrists and arm when I try and save myself. Resulting in bruising and aches and pains everywhere and not able to sit and use the keyboard for long.
What a fascinating contrast of sharp and soft.
I am so sorry you have had a few falls. I hope your bruising and pain settles down soon. Sending all my love to you xx
Ooh! Wendy, so sorry to hear of your falls, I hope you will feel better from your pains and bruises soon, take care!
Such a wonderful contrast of sharp and soft in this delightful still life. Amazing how styles change - I haven't used my pinholders in flower arranging in years, as you say, but still popular in Japanese arrangements, To be quite honest I very seldom arrange a formal arrangement these days as the bunch in a vase is more popular and less demanding! This is beautifully presented Wendy and a fav for me!
A creative and beautiful combo of soft and sharp (your dof gives an extra touch of softness too) Fav! (Ohh, Wendy! So sorry to hear about your falls and all the hurts to your poor body. I hope you heal quickly and are feeling better really soon. Take care)
This is very pretty- and I'm so sorry to hear about your tumbles and residual aches and aches and pains. Take care of yourself and rest up- 365 will be here when they go away.
I am so sorry you have had a few falls. I hope your bruising and pain settles down soon. Sending all my love to you xx
