2015 Designz® Cup National Winner
Theme: Beauty Down Under
National Winner – Sarah Lawrence
Congratulations to Sarah Lawrence from Southbank Institute of Technology in Queensland for obtaining the highest Designz® Cup score in 2015.
She created a nest that demonstrated the architectural prowess of the Satin Bower Bird.
Her design was crafted out of vines and twigs while eggshells were carved into vases then filled with small pieces of OASIS® Floral Foam. Miniature posies of white Peonies and Sweet Pea were added and a spiral of indigo Irises and Anemones emphasised the circular form of the nest. These bold splashes of blue nestled into a palette of greens, whites and browns catching the eye much like the way the design of a bower catches a mate. “A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions – so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect,” said Terri Guillemets.
