Funeral - Tied Sheaf

Hi,

Have another exam Thursday on the above.

Can you all tell me what you use as a base for them, I used Leatherleaf when I practiced but I felt it needed something stronger?

i use flat pine, but i have also used large palm leaves and cineraria eucalyptus, i hate doing them, but i would say leather leaf is definately not strong enough, good luck

Thankyou

I did think about the large palm, I'll take a look Wednesday and see what I can find.

I hate doing them too, very worried about it as I failed the first time so this is me attempting it again

I also use flat pine think it gives a stronger backing just remember to build your sheaf up as you go along with foliage again similar to handtie each time you add flower add foliage should have elevation side view should look similar to that of spray keeping that in mind to have your flowers starting top flower as your point and building up as you go along think there are some pics in gallery of sheaf Good Luck

Have to agree with that. Wouldn't use leather unless it was a really small delicate sheaf e.g. mxd freesia etc. Otherwise i'd say anything that does the job and looks right, which is the ultimate test. Baby blue euco works well, but the colour doesn't always go with the flowers.

Euca is lovely and could be used just for the backing if colour didn't suit flowers love the smell

You'd be smelling it all day long if you were on that sheep station in the outback.
