Flower arrangement, also known as the art of flower arrangement, is to insert flowers in bottles, plates, pots and other containers, rather than planting them in these containers. The following are the flower material handling skills and flower arrangement fixing skills I brought to you. Welcome to reading.
Processing skills of flower arrangement materials
1, winding method: In order to support some flower branches and overcome the morphological defects of flowers, flowers can be shaped in a spiral climbing way. Wrap a metal wire hard enough, bend the branch, and bend it according to your own ideas. But the metal wire should not be too thick, and it will not affect the ornamental effect of flower arrangement. When necessary, the metal wire can be wrapped with a layer of green cotton paper or painted with green paint. In this way, the bending degree of the flower branches can be changed freely. This method is suitable for treating soft flower branches.
2. Threading method: The center of the pedicel of some flowers is empty, such as marigold, celery and hibiscus. You can choose a metal wire with moderate thickness and insert it from the incision or stamen center. This method will not affect the appearance of the flower branches, but can also make the flower branches bend freely, but it cannot be used for non-hollow flower branches, such as carnations and chrysanthemums. In the process of threading, if it is difficult to pass through the upper part of the flower branch and the part near the flower, it should be stopped according to the specific situation, or partially threaded and partially wound.
3. Wedge modeling method: For thick and hard woody flowers, in order to achieve natural bending without revealing the aesthetic feeling of artificial traces, triangular wedge wood can be embedded in the branches to be modeled. Wedges need the same plant material. The thickness and size should be basically the same. The flower pie made in this way is beautiful and satisfactory, and it is generally difficult to see the defects, and it will not affect the water absorption of the branches.
4. Incision bending technique: the bending angle of woody flower technique is not large. You can also use scissors to cut the flower stem obliquely, and the depth of the incision should not exceed 2/3 of the diameter of the flower stem. Then, hold both sides of the incision with both hands and slowly bend the branches. If the branches are tough, small pieces of wood can be inserted into the incision.
5, leaf rolling method: there are some flowers, such as leaves, books and grass. , can be changed by crimping. The method is to flatten a leaf, roll the leaf from the tip to the petiole with a thin stick, take out the thin stick and rub it repeatedly until the hand is released. The leaves still have a certain curl. If you want to appear spiral, you can roll the leaves obliquely and shape them into a spiral.
6, leaf circle method: leaves with petioles and soft leaves, such as leaves, rivers and other leaves, can take a leaf to bend, stick a small hole in the tip of the leaf, and then insert the petiole into it. The size of the circle can be enlarged or reduced as needed. The blade must be prevented from tearing during handling.
7. Bracket setting method: This method changes the flower shape with the help of external force. First, prepare some metal wires and transparent glue. Then pick up the leaves to be treated and lay them flat with the leaves facing down. Find the central vein, stick the wire on the edge of the central vein and stick it with transparent glue. In this way, how many bends are needed can be adjusted at will. But be sure to expose the treated part in front.
8. Leaf pruning deformation method: the leaves of plants have natural beauty. Sometimes, in order to meet the needs of flower arrangement modeling, the leaf shape is reconstructed, and the original shape is changed to make it more in line with the needs of flower arrangement art. This kind of leaves requires a wide spread and hard texture, such as palm leaves, iron leaves, octagonal leaves and other plant leaves with strong plasticity. Like brown leaves. The leaves are very wide, and the palmately divided leaves form radial veins, which can be trimmed into circles, fans or other shapes.
9. Leaf extraction method: Plant leaves with parallel veins, such as Indocalamus leaves, will produce longitudinal cracks if they are torn longitudinally. If it is not completely torn, a few more lines can be pulled according to the vein, and a rotating curved leaf can be produced.
10, edge-turning method: When turning a sword-shaped blade upside down, cut a slit longitudinally in the middle of the blade, then bend the front of the blade and pass through the slit. When the blade is pulled out, the flip modeling is completed.
1 1, branch knotting method: the knotting treatment of plant branches can change the shape of flower arrangement, but not all flower branches can be knotted. Choose flowers with soft branches, such as incense, weeping willow, silver willow, winter jasmine, yellow heart and so on. The slender leaves of plants, such as Eupatorium adenophorum, yucca and iris, can also be knotted. The tightness of the knot is determined according to the needs of flower arrangement modeling.
12, branches and leaves bending method: in flower arrangement, in order to express nature, the complete branches and leaves are often properly "destroyed". For example, in order to show the scenery of the river pond, the leaves of Acorus calamus inserted in the basin are curved and the branches are curved.
13. Four-leaf breakage method: It is a pity that a good leaf is damaged, but it is also very useful as an artistic flower arrangement. For example, lotus leaves, if you want to show that you have been harmed by herbivores, you can cut some notches on the edge of the leaves and some holes on the surface of the leaves. If you want to show the old appearance of the material pond, you can tear one of the blades and show the damage of the point brake.
14. Two-way flower arrangement of branches and leaves: In artistic flower arrangement, sometimes in order to achieve a certain artistic effect, two-way flower arrangement can be adopted. Such as wisteria, vines of Lingxiao, branches of willow and mulberry, and even flower stems of calla lily. You can use this method. This method can also be used for some hard leaves, such as Eichhornia crassipes and Cycas.
15, branch inversion method: flower arrangement art is an art form of recreating natural scenery. In order to achieve a certain artistic effect, you can break the general rules, such as some wooden branches, even if they are dry, they will not shrink, so you can insert them upside down in the flower device with a fork. Sometimes in order to achieve a certain decorative effect, it is also necessary not to arrange flowers.
Fixing skills of flower arrangement
1, broken branch fixation method: some flower branches are hard and not easy to bend, such as loquat, maple, pine and begonia; Some flowers are defective or difficult to fix, so they are not suitable for wire binding. They can be treated by folding branches. The fixed shape of the broken branch is to break a part of the flower branch, but not too much, and it is best not to break it, which is slightly elastic. The method is to hold the branch with both hands, hold the thumb against the fold, and bend the branch with both hands. If the branch has strong toughness and can still bounce back to its original position after bending, pebbles or small pieces of wood can be embedded in the bend to prevent the broken branch from resetting.
2. Fixation method of clamping branches: When the flower branches are inserted into the vase, they often move and misplace, which makes the flower arranging author very nervous. If you want to put the floral art firmly in the vase, you should solve it in two ways according to the specific situation of the flower material. One way is to clamp and fix it with transverse branches. Cut a notch longitudinally at the tail of the woody flower branch to be inserted and clip a twig. The flower branches and twigs are crossed and then inserted into the bottle, so that the flower branches and vases have three supporting points to achieve the purpose of fixing. Another method is to clamp and fix it with straight branches. The clamped branch is vertical, and the length of the attached branch depends on the depth of the vase. The upper part of the attached branch is short enough to tie the flower branch, and the other end is long enough to tie it to the bottom of the vase. This method is most suitable for long vases and Jian Peijun.
3. Bottle mouth chajia fixing method: There are many shapes of bottle mouth chajia, which mainly solves the problem of fixing flower branches because the bottle mouth is too large. When the flower branches with large inclination are displayed in a big mouth vase, a cross-shaped fixing frame can be used to make the flower branches lean against the included angle of the cross of the tea stand. This way, there will be no big deviation in the branch. If the area of the bottle mouth is not too large, a Y-shaped fixing frame can be set to support the branch base on the inner wall of the bottle, and the waist of the branch rests on the notch of the tea nail.
4, incision fixation method: when using the socket to arrange flowers. Some woody flowers are thick and hard, and it is difficult to insert them into the flower base. In order to facilitate the fixation, the method of base incision is generally adopted, that is, after cutting according to the modeling needs of the flower material, several knives are cut longitudinally at the incision to form several small gaps, so that the flower can be inserted into the vase holder smoothly. This phenomenon is not only beneficial to the fixation of flower branches, but also to enlarge the wound surface, which is beneficial to the absorption of water by flower branches.
5. Oblique cutting and fixing method: In the treatment of flower arrangement materials, except for thick and hard woody flowers, general woody flowers and hard herbal flowers all adopt oblique cutting method. Such as silver willow, wintersweet, Chinese cymbidium and so on. It is advisable to insert flowers obliquely. If an upright branch is inserted, simply insert the pedicel downward to insert the flower arrangement. If you want to insert it into an inclined shape, you can first insert the flower branches into an upright shape, and then push the flower branches in the direction that needs to be inclined.
6. Attachment method: Some herbaceous flowers are soft in texture, but they also have delicate pedicels, such as hibiscus, carnations, calendula and other flowers, which are difficult to fix on the receptacle. Therefore, they only need to be fixed by additional branches. The method is to take a short branch and tie it to the base of floral art with rope or metal wire to expand the contact surface between the flower branch and the receptacle, so that it is not easy to lodging when the flower branch is inserted into the receptacle. If there are hollow or loose plants, such as calla lilies and reeds, they can also be attached to branches. The method is to intercept a small piece of proofreading and insert it in the receptacle, and then insert the hollow part of the flower branch in the twig, which is also effective.
7. Bundling method: Some wild flowers are gorgeous and moving, but the flowers are small. One or two flowers can't reflect beauty, and good effects can only be shown when they are concentrated. So when arranging flowers, you can hold the flowers into a ball, tie them with rope or wire, and then insert them.
8, receptacle conjoined method: the size of the receptacle is limited, sometimes to make a big flower arrangement. It is not enough to rely on a flower socket. In order to arrange more flowers, you can put several flowers together and nail them together with a few twigs.
9. Inverted flower arrangement method: When arranging flowers with woody flowers, it is inevitable to encounter the situation that the branches are heavy and the flowers are light, resulting in lodging. At this time, you can pour a receptacle on one side of the receptacle to increase gravity.
