Issue 81 of Fusion Flowers magazine is bursting with ideas from around the world many of which are in step-by-step format so that you can create your own designs too. We also have two floral features on displays featuring Amaryllis & Pine needles – amazing! Discover what Elly Lin used to create her highly imaginative Winter designs at a demonstration in Germany where she focuses on her version of Advent arrangements. We report from Belgium on the latest exhibition by Stef Adriaenssens including his remarkable ‘tea party’ design! In complete contrast we report on an ‘natural’ exhibition in a German forest where Gaby & Gregor Lersch literally worked from materials they found & in the process made a living ‘art gallery’ & created a memorable experience for everyone who visited. As if all of this was not enough we reveal how Life 3 (Per Benjamin Max van de Sluis & Tomas De Bruyne) re-visited the world-famous Ice Hotel in Sweden to re-create some of the work that featured in their book – Wedding Emotions. Be enthralled not only by the work that participants created but the environment that they were lucky enough to visit. And if you need recommendations for Christmas presents take a look at some of the new books & products on offer but you can also see a profile of the new Moniek Vanden Berghe book too!
