University women to meet Mechanics for flower arranging By FRAN GALANTINE Mechanics in flower arrange- ments are the helpful things that keep the design components in place, holding the flowers or acces- sories where you want them. Mechanics for flower arranging can be costly or not. When I began, I was a young housewife/mother with a budget. Lots of times you can find a pin frog or needle holder at a yard sale or flea mart. You should check to see if the "pins" are sharp and not bent or dirty. Simple arrangements use a pin frog or needle holder. Lots of arrangers use floral foam (Oasis). I do not use it unless I have to. Once you poke a stem into it, the hole is there to stay. Oasis tends to plug the stems of the plant materials, and makes it diffi- cult to take water up the stem. There are other, types of flower holders made from metal, glass, wood, clay and wire also. And sometimes I have to construct my own to fit the water source. You can use all types of contain- ers that are inexpensive, to hold your pin holder, including tuna cans, spice tins, tomato sauce cans etc. All can be cleaned and spray painted black or a neutral color. You do not have to have a formal Vase to hold the needle holder or oasis. You do have to have a water source, to make the plant material last longer. There are exceptions with hardy plants or the arrangement being on display only for a short time period. This holder can fit into a found piece of wood, a structure, a very large container (too big to hold just a few pieces of plant materials) and any other situation you might encounter. Other things to help your mechanics are wire, string, fishing line, screws, screen, glue and more. You do not want to see these “helpers.” You do not have to use flower blooms or blossoms all the time. Foliage alone, is nice some times. Acuba, aralia, flax, and, canna leaves, are a few we grow up here and you could grow in your yard . They also, often times, combine well if you do not have enough from one plant. Vases or containers can be any where from Grandma's pitcher, a mason jar (I do not recommend), special crystal dishes, clear glass vase (be careful as you will see all stems and leaves under the water magnified) and pottery art (some- times specially made for flower arrangers with many different open- ings). PVC pipes of various sizes, tea/coffee cups/mugs , anything that carries out your idea, interpreted, for that design Be creative, but not too Cutsie. I look forward to seeing all your new and creative ideas.
