The production of dried flower crafts mainly includes the following processes:: OkT? (I
Collect materials. There are many kinds of flowers and plants that can be collected in nature. Iris, delphinium, geranium, winter jasmine, chrysanthemum, malachite, Chimonanthus praecox, rose, carnation, string red, cornflower, grass chrysanthemum, Limonium sinense, Cao Xia and other flowers are all good dried flower materials. Asparagus, fern leaves and maple leaves are all good leaf matching materials. Flowers can also be cultivated artificially as means of production, and their main varieties are pansy, white bamboo, golden bamboo, cherry blossom, hexaploid, honeysuckle, yellow Persian, sorrel, centella asiatica, Zizania latifolia, cornflower, sweet pea flower, rose, delphinium and so on. Take time to collect the flowers in case they fit in winter. Generally, it is better to pick flowers at 9 ~ 1 1 in the morning, because there is no dew at this time, and the flowers and plants themselves contain moderate moisture, so they are easy to keep fresh, dry and dehydrated after picking. In the afternoon, most flowers and plants are wilting, so it is not suitable for collection. When picking, you can choose flowers with buds or flowers with completely open buds. Picked leaves generally require bright green, but sometimes mature dark green leaves are also needed. The collected flowers and plants should be treated immediately or stored in the shade for preservation. ~ & gt:Z6Le@
Material handling method. The collected flowers and plants are treated in two ways according to the purpose of making handicrafts in the future. 1. Dry flowers used to make greeting cards and glasses need to be prepared with absorbent paper (wrinkle-free toilet paper), corrugated paper (packaging carton), iron clips, tweezers, etc. First spread 2 ~ 3 layers of absorbent paper on corrugated paper, and then put a layer of flowers. After putting three layers of flowers and plants in this way, cover them with corrugated paper, clamp them around with iron clips (or press them with heavy objects), and put them on the heater next to the stove to dry (not in the sun in summer). 12 hours later, the purpose of drying can be achieved. If possible, it can be dried in a drying oven or microwave oven, and the effect is better. 2. Flowers and plants used to make flower branches, such as amaranth, chrysanthemum morifolium, Limonium sinense, Cao Xia, Sanguisorba officinalis, reed and Setaria viridis, need to be picked and hung upside down in a cool and ventilated place to let them dry naturally. Or bury the picked flower branches with desiccant powder, take them out after 10 ~ 20 days, and sweep the desiccant powder off the petals with a brush. It can also be dried in a microwave oven.

Production of dried flower handicrafts. When making dried flower crafts, you need to prepare scissors, tweezers, glue, pencils, writing brushes, cardboard, fine wire and ribbons. Dried flower crafts are divided into two types: plane crafts and flower branch crafts. Graphic handicraft production: according to your own materials and pictures in picture books or magazines, gently draw a sketch on the cardboard with a pencil, and then carefully dip the glue with a brush. Don't touch too much glue, otherwise it will affect the beautiful picture. After applique, it can be dried naturally. If there is a plastic plane film sealing machine, you can assemble the picture on the cardboard and seal it with plastic film, which will increase the storage time and make it more beautiful. You can also design new patterns yourself, such as landscapes, plants, animals, people and so on. , to paste, which will add more fun. Flower branch making: arrange dried flowers in the shade, tie them into bouquets with ribbons and put them in vases. Glue flowers such as wheat straw chrysanthemum to the treated wheat straw again, or thread fine wire into the receptacle, or add dried green bristlegrass, reed, bamboo, etc. And tied with ribbons into a bundle, it became a very beautiful handicraft. The flowers of grass chrysanthemum should be in first bloom, while Limonium sinense and Euphorbia zingiberensis must be collected when they are in full bloom. (2) Flower Arrangement Course-What key points must be mastered in color matching? Color matching is very important and difficult to handle. Because the color is the most eye-catching and infectious. Therefore, in flower arrangement works, the quality of color matching is often the key to the success of the works, and it is also the embodiment of the author's artistic harmony. Color matching involves a lot of basic knowledge of chromatics. If we can understand and master it, we can understand the key points of color matching well. (1) First of all, we should understand the nature and characteristics of color.
A. the type of hue.
Primary colors. Refers to colors that can be mixed into other colors. There are three primary colors: red, yellow and blue. A color made by mixing any two of the three primary colors. For example, orange is a mixture of red and yellow; Green is a mixture of yellow and blue; Purple is a mixture of red and blue.
Multicolor refers to the mixture of two colors. It has the function of buffering and reconciling. For example, orange green is a mixture of orange and green; Purple green is a mixture of purple and green; Orange purple is a mixture of orange and purple.
Complementary color. There are complementary colors between one primary color and the other two primary colors, and each pair of complementary colors is a contrast color of bright, dark, cold and hot. Such as warp and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. Each tone has different lightness (light and shade, change of depth) and different purity (saturation). Generally, primary colors have the highest lightness and purity, followed by intermediate colors and composite colors. The higher the lightness and purity, the brighter, brighter and darker the color.
B. the feeling of color. Different colors give people different reflections and feelings, such as the warmth, distance and weight of colors, which are the results of people's long-term life practice. People's perception of color can be divided into three categories:
Cool color system. White, purple and blue are easily associated with water, ice and snow, resulting in a cold feeling.
Warm colors. Red, orange and yellow easily remind people of the sun and fire, thus generating warmth and enthusiasm.
Mild color system. Colors between cool and warm colors, such as green, gray, gold, silver and black, often play a role in buffering and harmonizing.
(2) The key points of color matching.
The essence of color matching is to deal with the relationship between coordination and contrast, diversity and unity between different colors, so we must first follow the requirements of the above two rules for matching. On this issue, we should pay special attention to the following points:
A. In each work, it is not appropriate to match too many colors, otherwise it will easily lead to dazzling disadvantages. Generally, 1-3 color is more suitable. B. Multicolor collocation should have primary and secondary. If ceremonial flowers require a strong festive atmosphere, when choosing multi-color flowers, we must have a primary and secondary distinction, determine a main color tone, and avoid using all colors evenly.
C. except for special needs, general color matching should not be matched with contrast colors. For example, red, yellow and blue with the highest lightness and purity are matched together. Although they are bright, they are easy to glare. Insert some colorful flowers or green leaves in the middle to play a buffering role. D, different colors should echo each other, so as not to appear isolated and stiff.
The most important thing about color matching is that color harmony is better, harmonious and vivid. The specific collocation should be combined according to the purpose of flower arrangement, environmental requirements and the conditions of flower containers.
(3) Common color combinations.
A. monochrome combination. Choose a color composition, which can match a single color with the same brightness or a single color with different brightness (strong or light). For example, modern western wedding flowers like white bridal bouquets and white wedding dresses, which are very pure and elegant. B. similar color combinations. Similar color combinations. Similar color combination is the combination of adjacent colors on the color circle (that is, any triangle combination with an included angle of 90 degrees on the color circle). Because they are close in hue, phase and purity, and have transition and connection with each other, they are easy to coordinate and appear soft and elegant, and are suitable for being placed in quiet environments such as study, bedroom and ward.
C. contrasting color combinations. That is, the combination of two pairs of corresponding colors on the color ring, that is, the combination of complementary colors. For example, red and green, yellow and purple, orange and blue are highly exciting complementary colors, and their collocation is easy to produce bright, lively and warm effects. This contrast color combination is most commonly used in western classical flower arrangement, and etiquette flower arrangement is also often used.
