|Branch Cut Modern Version One|
Here we have the final prototypes for my reinterpretation of a holiday wreath…not one…but two ways.
|Branch Cut Modern Version Two|
Creating this look was my response to having flipped through an issue of the West Elm catalog. It’s now hip to get clever with your yard waste and clippings. So I took some pruned branches in my yard and created some ‘chips’. The chips got a quick coat of clear sealant stain.

To make the rustic look a bit more contemporary and ‘cutting-edge’, I fashioned some quick floral fascinators to give the wreaths a contrast of texture and color as well as a festive vibe. Again, I used long lasting succulent cuttings such as Aeonium and Sempervivum to punch things up with a bit of bold impact. To elevate these succulents to a fresher design level I also incorporated Eucalyptus capsules, foliage, and the ever dramatic flower heads of Eryngium ‘Sapphire Blue’. I think the overall look is contemporary branch cut modern. Very now, new, and fresh. Are you feeling this too?
