Floral Fun At The Etsy Pop-Up Store

12/4/2013

What a fun way to spend an otherwise dreary Tuesday evening! 
Attended the Flower Bombing class by Holly Hipwell (of The Flower Drum fame) down at the Etsy Pop-Up in the CBD.

Arrived unsure of what to expect. I mean, really. Wouldn't you be wondering about all those little green foam balls dotting the table too? They kind of reminded me of hot air balloons. Or giant brussel sprouts.

Played with lots of pretty carnations!
Finally stopped admiring all the pretty carnations and got to work on what Holly calls a flower bomb,  otherwise known as pompanders or flower balls.. or pompander balls. Or some other combination of flower, ball, pompander, and bomb.

Left with a big grin bouncing a flower bomb.
Also learnt a thing or two tonight!

Did you know..

• It took FOUR bunches of carnations to fill up that teeny oasis (that green ball of florist's foam)?

• Flower bombs, or pomanders, actually weigh more than they look? Quite a hefty solid ball of flora, they are.

• That little lump of oasis was the size of my fist, but created a pomander the size of my head!


Have you tried your hand at any pompanders, or other types of floral arrangements? Was it easier or harder than you thought? Would you do it again? Would love to hear your thoughts and stories!
