I've never worked with air plants.......Tillsandia.......and honestly, I didn't really believe they were plants (although I never gave it much thought as to what they actually were.....??).
They're kind of odd-looking...............hmmmmm they sort of remind me of something you'd find under the sea (don't you hear Sebastian singing "Under de Sea, under de Sea....."??).
We glued the plants onto the "wood".....although we did NOT put glue on the "root ball".......which was just a few wispy-looking dried up roots.
And that stuff that looks like drift wood?? It's grape vine..............yes, grape vine!!!
The wire is just some floral aluminum wire in wild and wacky colors - it's something that can be found at the floral supply store.
Normally, I wouldn't have used the wire on this arrangement at all.......but the instructor wanted "some color" and he wanted us to "have fun - do something crazy"................ahem. We worked in pairs so my partner grabbed the blue and gold and we just started twisting.
If I received this - I would remove that tacky wire before I set the arrangement down..........just sayin'.
Toodles for now...
