Great to see a more commercial version of my tubes, wire and sticks structure!
Howe are those sticks connected? Curious as always.
Love the contrast/ dynamics created in the play between the round curved lines of the Lilly grass and container with the straight crossing lines of the sticks!
Clean some of the leaves from the Skimia and try to add some crossed sticks lines over the flowers to reach next level!
Happy holidays!

This is an example of Low Relief Crossed Stem arrangement... it is somewhat devoid of the 3rd dimension of height which can be added with vertical crossing stem length.
Curving lines make your eyes travel and is more visible so is more dynamic than the crossing linear grid underneath the flowers.
The focus emphasis on LINE could have been expanded to show stem length of the flowers.
This brings more emphasis in this design to the shapes and color of flowers over LINE.
Line appears to have a more complementing role rather than the focus.
Its awesome Trudy, that you are constantly practicing sustainable mechanics!!
