Natural Twig Design


This design has been made with foraged twigs from a nearby woodland, the design is an oblong shape and is designed to be a table decoration. The twigs were carefully selected, taking ones that are interesting to the eye, whether that be because of their shape or colour.

Inspiration: 

Many floral designs incorporate twigs to add interest and give different textures to arrangements. Personally I think they are a great material to use, here are some examples of different designs that I found in both Fleur Crèatif and Fusion Flowers magazines.

Planning the design:  
Different shape ideas  


Before planning the final design I sketched a number of different ideas for shapes including a tall arrangement and also a nest however, I decided to make an oblong shaped table design.  

Sketch of final design

Calla Lily: For this design the only flowers that I incorporated where white calla lilies, there steams are flexible and this allowed me to bend them in and out of the twigs. 



Final design

As the twigs were recycled it was a cost affective design, the structure was secured using cable ties and was structurally sound.
