Membership Mini Floral Kit Q&A and Floral Study Presentation,
March 26th, 2025

Sharra will dive into some personal favorite floral designs by admired artists of different mediums and styles. We will discuss what makes these arrangements stand out by studying their use of select Elements and Principles of Design. We will consider how we can use these observations in our mosaic florals and discuss easy and accessible ways to implement them with materials on hand. This will be so fun and inspiring! 


COLOR REQUESTS, A special Mosaic Member only bonus: 

Members may request color preferences in your order form "notes" at checkout.

For example:

"I prefer warm colors and a bit of turquoise."
"I do not use red."
"I like calm soft pastels and neutrals."
"I love bright and bold!"
"I'd like mostly cool colors with warm accents"

*I will not be able to accommodate extensive and detailed requests beyond the examples above at this time. The Simpilier the Better- thank you! 

Due to the proportional amounts of colors in the many various materials I have coming in, I cannot guarantee requests can always be met exactly but I will do my very best as I enter these uncharted waters! 

Keep in mind that Mini Florals are excellent Color Studies, presenting creative challenges in ways to use materials and colors we are not used to. It may take us out of our comfort zones but it is so satisfying to make unexpected parings work. A little pop of blue next to a hot pink becomes less about being blue and more of a vibrant contrast of interest. Add a little neutral in the form of a brass bead tucked in or a pearlescent topper and it all comes together! We'll get more into that in the class. 

Thank you for your understanding and support as I take on the next phase in this big adventure of our Mosaic Membership. I truly can't wait to see what you all come up with!!
