I have been playing with dried rose stems lately. Here I gilded some by handrubbing on gold and copper and used them as a grid, making spokes through the upright stems. Red ti leaf is wrapped around the inside of the cylinder vase and it is finished off with more ti leaf and seeded eucalyptus.

Great concept. The colors work very well together and the grid is a great idea. I wish you had taken the picture a bit further out-it was hard to see the entire design. I would have liked the roses a bit longer. All in all, a very nice and pretty bouquet.

Love the details and textures. It's very difficult to 'see' the whole design with such a tight shot.

Love the black bacarras with the ti. Like how the roses are all on the same plane. Great impact!

Sorry, all, that I didn't pull the shot back further. I was in a hurry. Next time I'll give it more attention. Mostly what you are missing is the space around the design, which gives you some perspective and visual breathing room.

Very sellable and easy to transport. I love the color of the roses and color of ti leaf together.
