21.01.2022 Botanical handbag #7.... Tapestry sticks binded together using the tatami technique to create the handbag shape, glass tubes are secured for the water source, flowers and assorted botanicals all sorced from the garden!! This handbag is part of a personal challenge I set for myself a little while ago with sustainable floristry practices in mind, my aim was to create 10 designs that are foam free & made with product sourced/foraged sustainably & locally.....my personal choice to no longer use floral foam as a freelance florist was surprisingly easy although definitely challenging at times!! I have had to go back to the basics of well taught floristry techniques that I learnt many years ago! Sourcing & foraging locally is always the best part as I'm totally blown away by what is available!! Cheers Catherine xx
20.01.2022 The completed design....assorted succulents picked fresh from The Green Garden to compliment the colourful tapestry sticks binded together using the tatami technique. I am so happy with the outcome of this design and really enjoyed getting lost in the making!! Cheers Catherine xx

Cheers Catherine xx

Cheers Catherine xx
18.01.2022 We travelled away for work and play a couple of weeks ago & this is my travel box of essentials!!
