Welcome to another issue of fresh magazine. We hope that you’ve survived a

very busy beginning to the year and have recovered from Mother’s Day.

The traditional wedding season will soon be here even though many brides have

already walked down the aisle. So it’s time to wow you with some wonderful

wedding designs from a local designer.

Shauna Larsen has been working in her family’s

florist business named Daisy’s of Toowong since

1994. During that time she has developed her

floristry skills enormously and shares this vast

experience at demonstrations, workshops and the

Brisbane North Institute of TAFE. Shauna is also

the current Interflora District 5 Chairman.

Shauna completed her Commercial Floristry

Certificates in Queensland but then extended

this knowledge further at the Lyon Formafleur

International Design School in France. She has

worked with a number of International Designers both in Australia and overseas

and her competition experience is extensive.

Awards include Interflora Australia Florist of the Year in 1997, 2001, and 2006

along with several Queensland Florist of the Year awards. Becoming runner up

in the 2008 Interflora Asia Cup Selection Trials and a finalist at the 2009 World

Cup selection trials testifies that Shauna’s work has reached a high international

standard.

She has given us a unique interpretation of the fifties along with a dreamy

woodland series that conjures up fairies and magic potions. All Shauna’s work

has been photographed beautifully by Rhinda Larsen while WAFEX has provided

many of the quality blooms. Please check their advertisement for distribution

outlets in four states.

See the latest winners of the Designz® Cup on pages 10-13 where this year’s

theme brings many well-known characters to life.

Happy reading!

Slide into Shauna Larsen’s

seductive slipstream

of sweetness on the

following pages.

She demonstrates many possibilities with the

new OASIS® Cupcakes in their spotted skirts of

pastel pink, lilac or mint. The same background

colours also come with sporty stripes or

nostalgic floral patterns so take your pick from

two different sizes. The elegant stand is also

available in two sizes.

Shauna included flowers from the WAFEX

Sovereign range when she transformed the

fifties into a fairy floss fantasy so

watch out for them.

Step 1 Bevel the edges of the floral foam inside a large

cupcake holder. Create this design by using small left over

items from other designs.

Step 2 Begin by inserting clusters of Gypsophila into foam.

This is followed by grouped clusters of Chrysanthemums,

Stocks, Roses and Sim Carnations.

Step 3 Embellish the cupcake by using Pearls on Reel

scrunched into balls and attached with wire. Insert Diamante

Sprays then wind a twist of Aluminium wire attractively

through the design to circle and frame the cupcake.

Razzle Dazzle WristletStart this design by coating 30g wire with white Parafilm.

Cut it into two 10cm lengths and thread through a Rock Candy

bracelet to create secure tie points. Wire up small sprays of

Gypsophila and Spray Roses then coat with more Parafilm.

Create a round spray of Rose buds and also bind with white

Parafilm before embellishing with the wired Gypsophila.

Add in wired Hypericum berries then Diamantes before using

the threaded wire on the bracelet to attach the spray. Twist

wire securely and tuck in ends.

Begin this buttonhole design by creating a tatami using five lengths of flat

Use pliers to bend the ends into tight concentric twists ensuring they are of

varying lengths. Glue a base leaf of Dusty Miller to the top side of the platform

before gluing Rose buds, Spray Roses, Sim Carnation petals and Hypericum

into a small attractive spray.

Embellish with some Diamantes then glue an Ivy leaf to the underside. Finally

use extra glue to attach a Corsage magnet.

How to make:

FlamboyantlyIs there a bride in there?

The fifties followed years of wartime

austerity. Men returned to the factories

where women had filled an economic gap

and feminine fashion was back. Full skirts,

clinched waists and an apron for forays to

the kitchen became the signature style.

Shauna’s bridal bouquet oozes extravagance

and optimism as it heads into the future.

Step 1 Create a chicken wire style mesh frame

from silver Aluminium wire then bend the frame

into a rounded teardrop shape. Ensure that the

cut ends are bent around securely.

Step 2 Cut lengths of the same wire and

combine them to form a bouquet handle.

Weave a base out of silver Bullion wire to

create a platform then attach to frame securely.

Step 3 Weave green Pearls on Reel

throughout the frame distributing them

evenly. Twist up the ends of the handle base

with pliers to make pretty curls.

Step 4 Cut pieces of Statice then wire them

onto lengths of Bullion wire and thread over

the frame. Repeat this process by wiring and

threading pieces of Gypsophila, white Orchids

then Hypericum to build up the design. Finish

by wiring and threading Sim Carnation petals

onto the frame.

Once the desired length and volume is

achieved glue on pinches of Stocks and

Diamantes Sprays. Complete the design by

gluing and pinning three perfectly placed

Phalaenopsis blooms.

Left: Alyce Cousens discovered a book

of Escher’s prints while studying Art and

explored his optical illusions in her design.

She started off with one shape at the base and

slowly transformed it throughout the structure.

“I used the height difference between wires

and flowers to create different dimensions

within the spheres. I also chose flowers that

decreased in size as they travelled up the

surfaces,” said Alyce.

Like Escher her precise placement of

Chrysanthemums, spray Roses, Wires and

Pins takes you on a journey of discovery.

“The more I researched him, the more it seemed to fit

together - Australian and South African Natives and his

memorial Red Tea Rose. My wonderful husband came

up with the logistical elements: sourcing the tyre and

basing it onto the pole.”

Lauren deliberately chose an open form design

using moss to accentuate the aesthetics of

the Natives and Roses within the tyre.

A slice of Hawaii made it to Brisbane for

the Designz® Cup.

Andy Irons was the inspiration for a design that was

awarded first prize by Alan Randell-Smith and all

placegetters appear below:

1st Prize Elloise Hight Grovely Campus – Brisbane

North Institute of TAFE

2nd Prize Alyce Cousens Grovely Campus –

Brisbane North Institute of TAFE

3rd Prize Lauren McCallum Grovely

Campus – Brisbane North Institute of TAFE

Highly Commended Amy Backhouse

Southbank Institute of Technology

Elloise Hight paid tribute to a man

who stayed true to himself and the

surfing culture. He was also a strong

ambassador for the importance of

surf awareness in youth.

“I love the purity and beauty of the

beach. Surfers find solace as well as

enjoyment when surfing the waves

and I wanted to share this with

people,” said Elloise.

She used contrasting colour to

make the flowers stand out from

the natural beach setting. They

also connected with the photo

of a tribute to this brilliant surfer

who learned his craft on the

dangerous reefs of Kauai, Hawaii.

In response to Irons’ death a World

Championship Tour event in Puerto

Rico was postponed for two days

with competitors holding a “paddle

out” memorial service.

Flowing lines and different levels

balanced this design which was kept secure

in an OASIS® Florette Grande. Delphiniums

caught the blueness of the ocean that Andy

loved so much while Roses radiated the gold

and red edges of a Hawaiian sunset. Lush

foliage, perfectly poised Palm fronds, shells

and a surfboard are all symbols of this famous

man’s connection to the Island of Love.

“I love being creative with designs and being

able to work with nature’s most beautiful

flowers and plants. Knowing that someone is

getting joy out of something I have created for

them makes me fall more in love with the art of

Floristry every time,” said Elloise.

Left: Sahar Isaac loved the music, talent and creativity of Michael

Jackson. A glove and hat were woven from Bullion Wire to create his

signature pieces.

Calla Lilies combined with Dendrobium Orchids, Anthuriums and

Roses for a stunning contrast to the black wiring above. “Flowers

are part of my life now and I love living every minute of it. I am

passionate about seeing people happy, changing their moods and

putting a smile on their faces,” said Sahar.

Below: Heath Ledger’s joker in Dark Knight triggered the

imagination of Maria Anogianakis. His early death inspires her to find

joy in every second of every day.

Stub Wire became a head while the tatami technique kept materials

secure. Maria made her own chicken wire while OASIS® Floral Foam

and Test Tubes were filled with Anthuriums and Orchids. “What I

enjoy mostly about floristry is that I get to play with flowers which

are a passion of mine.”

Left: Michael Cordeiro

enjoyed the artistic

challenge of doing

something different

using floristry

techniques. His

concept was Lance

Armstrong.

Several celebrities were spotted at the Royal

Easter Show in Sydney.

They entertained the public in unexpected floral designs during

the New South Wales Designz® Cup. Alan Randell-Smith and

David Berger reached the following results:

1st Prize Fionna Tamin Canberra Institute of Technology

2nd Prize Sahar Isaac South Western Sydney Institute –

Padstow College

3rd Prize Maria Anogianakis Sydney Institute -

Ultimo College

Highly Commended Michael Cordeiro

Sydney Institute - Ultimo College

Fionna Tamin deliberately picked Van

Gogh for her tribute instead of a musician

or actor. She used the famous artist’s

painting entitled Starry Night as a brilliant

connection to this year’s theme.

Van Gogh’s life was filled with tragedy.

“He was despised, misunderstood and

never really enjoyed a single taste of

fame or glory. Van Gogh conveyed beauty

through his paintings so selflessly that it

touched the world deeply and this is very

inspiring to me.”

“The highlight of my piece was Van Gogh’s swirl

of stars. I tried to stick to the painting as much

as possible and shaped transparent irrigation tube

into swirls that were wired together using the tatami

technique,” said Fionna. She developed her idea further

with more wire work throughout.

“I love the soft Aluminium Wire. It’s so easy to

manipulate that creating my swirl highlights

was an absolute breeze.”

Golden shades of Asiatic Lily along

with Vanda and Dancing Lady Orchids

depicted the glow of the moon in Starry

Night. The colours of the sky were visible

in trails of Delphinium, dyed Dendrobium

Orchids and Irises. Several people have

inspired Fionna and especially Andy

Djati Utomo whose works push

the boundaries of floristry while

embracing simplicity at the same

time.

“I love floristry because it is an art form

that combines nature’s beauty with my

perception of beauty. I don’t think I

will ever be bored by nature,”

said Fionna.
