Val Spicer - Florist

This was designed and made for the Annual Society of Floristry Show in Nottingham in November 2007. Val used 10 wraps of the double white chrysanthemum, approximately 15 laurel leaves for the tips of the wings and the tail. The head, neck and wings were then sprayed with blue spray paint. For the feet Val used thick wire of 5 short lengths of 1.5 thick florist wire, bent to shape and wrapped with thick string and then sprayed yellow/orange. The beak was cut out of thick plastic and sprayed orange. Time taken: 2 hours (approx.)
