Yesterday I wanted to see how my Green and Gold Basket would work for a flower arrangement. While I was at the grocery store I picked up some ferns and white roses along with some baby's breath. I didn't realize how nice this basket would work for a dinner table arrangement.
The height of the arrangement is just nine inches tall so folks seated at the table can see over the arrangement comfortably. If you want to remove the arrangement from the table the handle makes that much easier.
I used the same flowers for the two bird baskets to see how they looked. Since I use a strip stack method of construction there is always a chance there may be a leak in the basket, none for this one, yippie.
I think the bird on the side gives a nice touch. I like the simplicity of the white arrangement, would be nice for a wedding or for an anniversary.
When I made this basket I wasn't sure I liked the bow or ribbon on the front. But I think it looks nice with the flower arrangement. Not sure about the black bird, next time I'll try a different colored bird, perhaps white or coral or what color do you think?
We're having a bunch of thunderstorms moving through today, makes for a lazy Sunday. Hope you're taking it easy. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
