Wreath Art II

Wreaths are commonly used in combination with flowers and/or grasses, pine cones and Christmas related greenery and items. It does not have to be that way and I was glad to see that some people thought outside the box, or circle as the case may be.

This colorful, interesting wreath is entirely decorated with small items and objects. It draws the attention and each time you look at it, new discoveries are made. I can imagine how fascinating it would be to a child, having something like this in its room.

It does not have to be decorated as elaborate as shown in the first photo; even with something as simple and plain as corks, a unique creation can be the result of your handiwork. Yeah, sometimes less is more.

The beauty of this cork wreath lies in its simplicity. Repeating the same color gives it a soothing appearance, while on the other hand the composition of the multitude of corks piques your interest due to its irregular surface.

I am considering covering a wreath by using the many shells I have collected over the years. How about beads, nuts and bolts, dried peas, coffee beans, marbles, different kinds of pasta, etc., etc., etc.?

As you just found out; wreaths are not limited to floral arrangements. It is entirely up to you what items you want to use. All you have to do is break the cycle! :-)
