Grapevine Interpretation

Project created by Dodie Sy
A lavish re-usable flower stand of Grapevines anchored in a custom painted glass compote. A plastic liner is glued in the center to hold another liner for arrangements. Large Monsterra Leafs are "Sprinkled" with Design Master "Yellow Yellow" to mimic an exotic variegated leaf and further enhanced with leaf shine. To give the grapevines a fresh spring look it is spray painted with Design Master "Basil". This is perfect for corporate displays or weekly hotel lobby displays. The flowers are grouped to calm the eye towards the center of the wild grapevine arbor. Divine!Dodie Sy's Grapevine Interpretation project for uBloomIngredients:
