"CFAA Has Talent" Designer
I am a member of the Lemon Bay Garden Club and an accredited NGC Flower Show Judge.
I look forward to the return of CFAA Seminar in Feb 2022. CFAA is a great opportunity to meet and work along side many of Florida’s talented designers. My first experience at CFFA was an exciting undertaking partnering with Carol Friedman to create the hotel lobby design for 2019. In 2020, I was one of a group of workshop presenters and enjoyed working with attendees to share the design possibilities of Geami Wrap.

I found Kaleidoscope a special treat. The accompanying design, titled “It’s all about the Texture” is my first Kaleidoscope Design.
"It’s all about the Texture”
Design: Multi-Rhythm Creative
Design: Multi-Rhythm Creative
Plant Material:
A touch of fresh amaranthus complemented the smooth white phalaenopsis orchid sprays. Bamboo and Cyperus stems provide a vertical line and a contrasting smooth texture to complete my design. Techniques: I used off-set hula hoops suspended on a wreath holder and covered them with Geami Wrap which provides an interesting see-through rough texture for the round form.
