can anybody please help me in my homework for FLORAL DESIGN? A customer comes into your shop carrying a gorgeous oval bowl. It's very large, low, and has a pale gray crackled glaze; the customer says it's a bonsai container that he picked up during a trip to Japan. He wants you to make an arrangement of fresh flowers in it for the foyer of his business, because a celebration will take place there next week. The furnishings in the foyer are very modern. The bowl is to sit on a counter, so the arrangement will be visible from both sides. The customer says the colors in the foyer are black, white, and gray. He wants something very artistic so suit the bowl. After he leaves you with the bowl, it occurs to you that a parallel systems design might be just what this container needs. 1. To prepare the oval ceramic bowl, you should A. use green ¼ inch bowl tape in a plus sign to prevent the standard foam you intend to use from shifting. B. wash the bowl thoroughly, dry it carefully, attach dry foam with a plus sign of clear bowl tape to the bowl. C. wash the bowl thoroughly, dry it carefully, glue standard foam while it's still dry securely to the bottom of the bowl with pan glue, and then soak the foam. D. wash the bowl carefully, fill it with water, and wedge in a piece of standard foam that fits snugly in the bowl. 2. Your parallel systems design for this customer must be defined by A. an s-curve of ivy cascading below the bowl. B. at least two parallel groups of upright flowering branches used as line materials. C. a variety of spring flowers arranged as if they were growing in a garden. D. perfect lines of massed chrysanthemums forming concentric circles of color. 3. You decide to cover the bare foam left visible in this striking contemporary arrangement with maroon leaves that have an interesting gray reverse; you place the leaves on top of each other so that many leaf edges form a flat pattern and all the foam disappears. This technique is A. basing by layering B. basing by pavé C. basing by terracing D. basing by pillowing 4. You decide that you can add tulips to this parallel systems design if you can make them into an upright column by tying them with raffia to keep them from bending into curves as tulips often do. This technique is called A. banding. B. binding. C. framing. D. skeletonizing. A customer comes in with a request for a romantic arrangement to be placed on a piano in her living room which is pale pink and white. A friend who's a professional pianist has graciously offered to entertain her extended family at a reunion to be held at her house.

You immediately suggest a Hogarth arrangement and you describe it to the customer as A. an arrangement of cascading elements. B. an arrangement with equally strong vertical and horizontal elements. C. an arrangement with a continuous line in an s-shape. D. an arrangement with a triangular shape in which the three points symbolize heaven, humans, and earth. 6. You decide to use pink, rose, maroon, and mauve flowers. Your color scheme is A. triad. B. complementary. C. monochromatic. D. analogous. 7.

Can anyone help with the history of floral table arrangements? A friend is doing a City and Guilds course in floral design, and needs to know the history of table arrangements.

What style is cedar chest with two- toned carvings on the front, simple, abstract floral design? Can't remember what style the dealer said- it was the end of auction and he was a little tired, too. Thought he said Craftsman or Arts & Crafts. It is Lane cedar chest, putting it at after 1912. This would not be true Arts and Crafts, from what I've seen on the net. The font on the insurance label which is stapled inside looks more like the 1940's to me. I am such a novice, though, and other than this, have little idea what year or style. I e-mailed the company but since I am not looking to buy, I am unsure whether the response will come. Again, the identifying features of the style are basically the carved floral design and the carved border on the bottom, of a somewhat fleur-de-lis pattern with widened circle-like ovals between them, and the fact that there is a definite two-tone quality to the front panel. Also, there are legs rounded as you might do with a lathe, and the lid of the chest is beveled. Thank you for any pointers you can give on this!
