\"SANYO<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, I thought we’d just admire the easy way that flowers can be used, like any singular element, as a way to create lines. Lines define and give direction, as well as creating energy by creating visual movement. An arrangement of many small flowers will create those lines just as would a series of beads, crystals, hand tool marks, etc. So instead of bunching flower motifs into, well, a bunch, consider how you can create lines with them to convey the kind of calm or energy you are after in the piece you are making.<\/p>\n

Here is a beautiful\u00a0set of champagne bottles created by Anastaisa of Art-Kisto4ka<\/a> on Livemaster.ru. \u00a0I love the way the line of flowers twist back and forth on the first two bottles giving the compositions a flowing energy, which is further picked up and added to by the lines of pearly dots shooting off in little swirls. I included one that outlined a heart as well simply to show how the flowers can create a grounded line that easily defines a shape.<\/p>\n

Anastasia makes the most realistic looking flowers. I have to look around to ensure they weren’t real and preserved flowers. The ones on the bottles are excellent, but it’s her larger flowers that will really blow you away. You can see more of her finished work in her shop<\/a> and on her blog<\/a>. She also sells her flowers as components in her supply shop on LiveMaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n
