Here I used a terra cotta pot and sprayed it with Mossy - what a great color tool! The textures look like true moss and can jazz up any container.

For this design I used a combination of ColorTEX sprays: Halloween, Autumn Leaves and Pumpkin create this artist's palette.

I wanted to dress up this Japhet in a unique way. I used a set foam wreath with a solid backing, then placed the japhet in the center. I made a hedgerow of foxtail and a collar of mini orchids and presto! The result is a whole new look, and very cost-effective - a perfect Mother's Day gift!

Every shop has at least one container that you can't even give away. What do you do to perk it up? Here, again, I thought about a Sympathy arrangement. Mind you, I'm not saying use your ugly containers only for funeral work. But if the container fits the design, use it. A good designer, using Design Master ColorTEX, can make those unforgiving containers forgivable, as I did in this last design. I first used a potted phalaenopsis plant and fresh cut phal stems and tulip anthuriums. I covered the pot in Ti leaves and secured the ends of the leaf with floral adhesive. Next, I braided a palm to give the piece a contemporary feel and voila - a beautiful arrangement to send to any funeral.
