After easter I'd go for something on a spring cleaning theme and keep it all fresh and light.

Perhaps some delicate paperwhites and gyp arranged around a yellow duster?

when you say demo do you mean you stand there and make stuff while folks watch or 'just' show the finished product?
I have a few ideas but there is a big diff btween those two!
I like the spring cleaning idea...you could go really far with that!

I have a demonstration tomorrow night for our local floral art club.

Ive titled it " Caithness my home."

I went out in the car the 2nd week in january and took over 200 photos all across the county. I narrowed my choice down to 5 pictures and Ive had them enlarged. Im doing designs incorporating each picture. Something slightly different I thought.

Hi, how about getting a goldfish style vase, planting some 'just colouring' hyacinth bulbs inside with pebbles or gel to hide the bulbs, then place some twigs horizontally on top of the vase with oasis fix and make a nest style arrangement on the top of the vase - you can thread some mimosa fronds or genista maybe, or cut hyacinth flower into the twigs?? just a thought..Eve
