mechanics and our next workshop?




as you may have guessed from the lack of posts lately...we've been busy. (like hanging these insane floral "clouds" from the ceiling of an old hog barn. whose crazy idea was that???) next time i will definitely consider the "how" before I blurt out an untested creative zinger like that! big thanks to my honey-pie for listening to all of my "pie in the sky" ideas and ramblings on this (balloons covered in petals, styrofoam forms with layers of tubed hydrangea wrapped around them, etc) and then figuring out how to engineer their installation. you are a patient and sweet man!

tomorrow I'm kind of, or mostly on my way to my good friend Jose Villa's workshop in Los Olivos. Nevermind my car died an hour ago - and I'm not in LA. but, thanks to the good will ambassador of flowerwild (ambassador of happiness and all things positive (amber moon)) it looks like Jose will get his flowers and some other goodies.

which brings me to something else. many of you have been asking about our next workshop. and i haven't planned dates yet, or locations. So though I would ask you all. when and where would you like to see flowerwild workshops?

considering first and last weeks of november, and other dates in Jan and feb!

locations????
santa barbara
ojai
seattle
chicago
savannah
charleston
maui


i already feel a bit better just thinking about all the flowery fun that will ensue.

  8. ok...love the seattle idea! but what about weather in Dec? So used to doing this outside! Ha...ok so I will look into a space we could host it indoors there and see what the flowers will be like at that time of year - and let you all know!

  10. weather will probably be really rainy and cool but not snowy or anything.flowers locally will be almost non existent except for hothouse grown bulb stuff, wild foraged evergreens and branches.nothing really comes back to life until mid March here with hellebores,narcissus,anemones,tulips,forced branches etc.
    If only we all had downtime in the summer when my garden is rocking and rolling, then we'd be swimming in material :)
    Oh, I so hope it works for you to come up our way. Count me and my two flower arranging buddies in when you're doing your planning!
