You will find below the instructions I prepared for visitors to my studio during the Kunstpunkte Open Studios weekend in Düsseldorf.
Roseland Workstation No 3
I would like to invite you to make a rosebud.
Materials:
• Piece of ribbon or fabric cut to size
• Wire stem
• Floral tape
Instructions
• Hold the wire in your left hand and the ribbon in your right
• Place one of the wires over the ribbon
• Roll the ribbon, holding it in your left hand, around the wire for 2 cm
• Bend the end of the wire over the ribbon to hold it in place
• Continue to roll the ribbon, but as you roll with your left hand, twist with your right
• When you are near the end of the ribbon, stop
• Take a piece of floral tape (about 5 – 6 cm)
• Wrap the floral tape very tightly around the base of the rose, using your body heat to make it stick to itself; continue twisting it around the wire until it is finished.
Plant the rosebud in a special place. Or you can send it to me, and I will plant it in Jacobigarten in Malkasten where you can come find it to take home.
