There was an autumn girl, teasing with an outfit,
Warming in velvet light.
And with that girl, meeting her gaze,
We suddenly forget about the summer ...

D Good day my dear friends!

Today, I am sharing with you my new experience in needlework. It will be a picture of autumn leaves, I wanted to call it: a girl - autumn. Actually, I didn't plan to do this job. But, at work, an annual craft competition was held, from autumn materials. The leader asked me to make some crafts from natural materials. As a boss, would you refuse a request? Yes, and I wasn’t going to refuse this request to him, this is needlework! And I like needlework, well, I really like it. Here's what I ended up with.

Picture of autumn leaves: girl - autumn.

For work, I took:

• Fiberboard - 50 x 40 cm;
• Natural materials - ears of wheat, a bunch of autumn leaves, twigs, acorns, rowan berries, flowers, grass, millet;
• PVA glue;
• Acrylic matte varnish;
• Acrylic paints - gold, bronze and white;
• Watercolor paint - yellow.

As a basis for the picture, I took a piece of fiberboard, 40 x 50 cm in size. not smooth))) Right in the middle, there was a scratch, but it doesn’t matter, I will decorate it.

The frame of the picture, I decided to draw in the technique - terra. For this, I needed a mixture into which I would press ears of wheat and millet. Usually putty is taken for this, and I was sure that I had it. But everything was a break, I didn’t find it, it turned out to be over, but I didn’t want to go to the store ... But I had dry glue for tiles and I decided to experiment. Let the glue be the basis of the mixture. I needed to get a mass of medium density into which wheat and millet could be pressed. In this case, the mixture should eventually harden and firmly stick to the frame. And I did this, mixed: tile glue (6 parts) + flour (3 parts) + PVA glue. I actually used PVA instead of water. That is, as soon as the mass became the consistency I needed, I stopped adding it.

frame mix

First, I generously smeared the canvas with PVA glue, around the entire perimeter, in place of the future frame. After letting the PVA dry a little, I began to apply the experimental mass, with a layer of about 1 cm, beforehand.

Made the base for the frame

And immediately she began to press ears of wheat into this mass, and then plentifully, sprinkled with millet. Everything was pressed in, so that wheat and millet were pressed in, but at the same time they were clearly visible.

Pressed wheat and millet

Pressed wheat and millet

Then, she put the picture on its edge and shook off the excess millet.

After about 30 minutes, I mixed PVA glue and acrylic varnish, in equal proportions and with this composition, covered wheat and millet. When you apply this composition, it is white in color, but after drying it becomes transparent.

Covered with a composition of PVA glue and acrylic varnish

When the composition of glue with varnish dried, I painted the frame abundantly with gold paint. Painted with a wide brush. And after drying, I walked over the ears of wheat, with bronze paint.

Now, finally, the picture itself of autumn leaves. I want to say right away: I am not friends with drawing, and especially with drawing with paints! I painted as I thought.))) White acrylic paint, poured into a separate container and slightly diluted with water, so the paint is applied more evenly. Then, I painted over the surface of the fiberboard with paint (without affecting the frame). Thus, I prepared the canvas, lightly primed it. By the way, in the end, it looked like the picture was made on canvas. When the white paint dried, I began to apply the background of the painting. I made all the strokes smooth, semicircular or something (I don’t know what the artists call it). In the middle, closer to the top, again painted with white paint. Then I began to darken the background, bringing it closer to the edges. To do this, gradually began to add gold to a container with white acrylic paint. The farther to the edges, the more gold was added, making the tone darker.

Painted fiberboard, making the background

Looking at the result, I wanted to add a yellow tone. I didn’t have acrylic yellow paint, so I took watercolor paints. Mixing white and yellow watercolor paints, I walked right behind the edge of the white background. That's it, I put the picture aside until the paints completely dry.

For this work, I collected some different, autumn leaves, thin birch twigs, grass. Also, twigs with rowan berries, acorns, flowers from narwhal flower beds (fortunately, they were not fined))). But my husband found the highlight. Helping to collect acorns, I found a sleeping dragonfly (it's good that it was already not alive).

Leaves, and flower petals, I laid between the pages of books, so they lay with me for about two days. I had them at work, only slightly dried up.

But first, I drew a silhouette of a girl on paper (I found it on the Internet) and attached it to the picture to determine the size.

I drew a silhouette of a girl

Then she cut off the skirt and painted the girl with gold paint. It could have been acrylic, but I had spray gold paint))). From the waist, cut off a small pointed piece, these will be cilia.

Painted the “girl” with gold paint

Then, I glued the girl to the place, which I decided in advance. I didn’t take pictures of my further steps, because. I'll tell you in words.

She formed a wreath for the girl from grass, leaves and twigs with rowan berries. I glued everything on a mixture of PVA glue and acrylic varnish (in proportions 1/1). In the future, I used this composition. Let me explain why I used just such a composition. Before starting to make a picture, I rummaged through the Internet, in search of how to preserve the color of autumn leaves. And I found information that the color and elasticity of autumn leaves can be preserved, including with the help of this composition. Other options did not suit me (I will not write about them).

I continue. The skirt was made from leaves. Glued in rows, starting from the hem, rising higher.

The bodice of the dress was made from flower petals.

Since, initially, there was a scratch on the fiberboard, I glued a branch with leaves in its place. And she glued the dragonfly, spreading her wings. I really liked this dragonfly.

Made a girl, glued a dragonfly and a twig

On both sides of the girl, I glued twigs and leaves, trying to imitate trees. I started gluing from the top level, then, going down, I glued the following branches and leaves.

And in the lower left corner I glued panicles, small twigs of flowers and a few acorns.

And further! Examining the work, I found that on the frame, there are places that were not painted over. Therefore, once again, I went over the frame with gold paint.

Glued grass and acorns

Then, through all the leaves, twigs and flowers, I walked again, with a composition of glue and varnish.

That's all. My painting of autumn leaves is ready. Of course, this is most likely not a picture, but a panel ... But let it be a picture, I really want it)))

Friends, if my master class was useful to you, share it with your friends!

What is a herbarium, probably everyone who once studied at school knows. We collected leaves and twigs, carefully dried them, shifting them with old newspapers and magazines, and then carefully pasted them into albums and signed the names of plants. But natural materials can be used not only for educational purposes. In skillful hands, they turn into bouquets and decorative compositions for decorating the interior, into postcards and paintings.

By the way, if you didn’t have time to stock up on dried flowers since autumn, all is not lost. Especially where there is no snow yet. Look around: “panicles” of field cereals are swaying in the wind, there are seeds left on the ash tree ... Someone, maybe, has a bouquet in a vase, someone has indoor plants blooming ... And also, having gone to the dacha on the weekend, you can take a walk behind and with twigs in the nearest forest ... In general, there would be a desire - but there is material! Let's see how the collected "treasures" can be disposed of ...

Bouquets and compositions of dried flowers

Some plants, when dried, perfectly retain their natural shape and even color - they most often become the material for winter bouquets and decorative compositions. These flowers and cereals usually do not even require any special effort - they can simply be placed in a vase (without water!) Or hung somewhere in a dry room.

Some plants, when dried, retain their natural shape and even color.

The most popular, perhaps, annual dried flower - helichrysum, which is often called immortelle. But there are many other annuals and perennials that can be used for winter bouquets: limonium(aka Kremek or statice); ; gypsophila; inflorescences and seed pods look good ( alliums); great in compositions - quaking grass, haretail, maned barley and many, many others.

The article will tell about healing herbs that can be used to create various winter compositions. You will find a workshop on making a stylish interior element in the publication.

It is not always possible to preserve the natural color of plants - many of them, even with proper drying, become discolored. What to do with it? Depends on your tastes, preferences and creative ideas. You can admire the texture by choosing the appropriate frame for the faded flowers. Such compositions are perfectly combined with ceramics, unbleached linen, wooden interior items.

Love bright? There are no problems either - you can dry those plants that do not lose their color, or you can paint leaves and dry inflorescences those paints that seem to you the most suitable for the intended composition. Our readers share their advice on how and with what materials it is better to do this in the discussion of the issue.

In order for the composition to be durable and look good in the interior, it is important to choose the right one for it. vase or other suitable container. And here it is worth considering everything: the color scheme of the bouquet, the texture of the plants, and the features of the environment where it is planned to place it. Do not be afraid of original, bright, non-standard solutions - use unexpected combinations and materials to realize your creative fantasies

It is important to choose the right vase or other suitable container for the composition.

Decorating the interior with dried flowers, don't limit yourself to dried plants. Cones, twigs of trees and shrubs, bright clusters of mountain ash or viburnum, decorative pumpkin fruits, even beautiful stones - much of what nature has given us can be used for such still lifes and arrangements. Do you know that even from vegetables Can I make a luxurious winter bouquet? Surprised? See the publication - and be surprised even more!

A wide variety of natural materials can be used for winter bouquets and arrangements.

By the way, in anticipation of the approaching New Year holidays, it is worth remembering the traditional ones - that's where dried flowers and other natural materials will be more than appropriate! And you can use such a wreath in the decor in a variety of ways: hang it on the front door or on the wall; make the basis of the composition of candles or fruits; small wreaths - a wonderful decoration for a festive table

Details on how to make a spectacular autumn composition of dried flowers, what materials to choose for this, what professional techniques should be used, will be told in the next video by florist Irina Vorobyova

Compositions of dried flowers in the interior

It is not enough to make a beautiful bouquet - it is important to choose for him good place in the house. And this is also a fascinating creative process that can make us take a fresh look at familiar interiors. Perhaps, at the same time, you even want to redo something, change, supplement the situation with new details ...

It is not enough to make a beautiful bouquet - it is important to choose the right place for it in the house

For example, how do you like this floor vase with dried flowers? A huge bouquet enlivens the plain gray walls; its color scheme "resonates" with the color in which the back of the garden bench is painted, and the bright colors of the door mat

Or such a sweet and delicate flower arrangement in a wicker basket - an elegant addition to an unusually shaped water tap made "antique"

By the way, in the bathroom, dried flowers can be a good alternative to living plants, which here will suffer from a lack of lighting. It is only worth remembering: high humidity for dry compositions is detrimental Therefore, you can use such a decor only if there is good ventilation.

Take a look at how strict, laconic lines of bouquets of cereals and lunaria (lunaria) can become an elegant addition to the festive table setting

When choosing a place for a flower arrangement, it is very important to choose the right background. It should be in harmony with it, not competing in brightness and expressiveness, and also favorably emphasize the texture of natural material.

When choosing a place for a flower arrangement, it is very important to choose the right background.

And you can also give free rein to your imagination, imagine yourself a painter and start compiling still lifes worthy of a master’s brush. Don't own painting? Try photographing your masterpieces!

See how different the same vase with lunaria can look. Complementing the arrangement with various elements, changing the background, combining all kinds of interior items, accessories and natural materials, you can get an infinite number of images, each of which has its own character and mood.

The same vase with lunaria can look different

Those who have ever tried to compose such compositions will surely confirm that this is a very interesting, creative activity. Just right for the long winter evenings.

And you can find an interesting selection of diverse ideas for using dried flowers and natural materials in interior decor in the following short video:

Pictures from dry leaves and flowers

Delicate flowers and leaves, carefully straightened and dried under oppression, can be a wonderful material for creating real paintings made in the technique of appliqué. The easiest option is images of bouquets or stylized flower beds. For such paintings, it is better to select medium-sized plants and combine them in such a way as to achieve the most natural composition, “like a real one”

Another option is a composition in the spirit of an old herbarium. This is an exquisite interior decoration or an original gift for a plant lover. For this kind of paintings, it is better to choose discreet plants - wild herbs, cereals. And if you want brighter colors, place the plants on a contrasting black background.

floral painting, or mistaken- an art form in which dried herbs and flowers are used instead of brushes and paints. You can use parts of dried plants, and other natural materials - birch bark, straw, moss, and so on. And here the florist's imagination is practically unlimited - the natural material obeys the will of the artist, transforming in accordance with his ideas.

Oshibana is an art form that uses dried plants instead of brushes and paints.

This is a very interesting technique that allows you to create unique works that will decorate your interior or become an original creative gift. A detailed master class on creating paintings from plants - in the next video

Those who are interested in this type of creativity can see another master class. Before our eyes, a picture is born, and watching the work of a florist is an exciting and educational experience. Each master has his own tricks, secrets and tricks, so you can certainly learn something important and useful for yourself. And do not be embarrassed that this lesson consists of two parts: it will take no more time to view both than for the previous story

In the second part - the completion of work on the picture, as well as the important subtleties of the preparation and storage of natural materials for creativity

Well, in order to fully imagine the possibilities of being mistaken, it is worth watching a selection of works presented in the next short video. Looking at some of the paintings, it is impossible to believe that they were painted not with a brush and paints, but with petals and leaves. Amazing, bewitching, fantastic creations of skillful hands of florists - look, admire, get inspired

Doing with children

Natural materials are great for children's creativity. The ability to see a flower or a bird in scattered twigs, cones and seeds is a manifestation of creative abilities that it is desirable to identify and develop from a very early age. The older the child becomes, the more complex the ideas that he is able to come up with and implement. The smallest, of course, will need the help of adults - both in the preparation of materials and in the implementation of ideas.

Bouquet of natural materials and plasticine

Kids learn such crafts from kindergarten age. This lesson is very useful for the development of the child, and from the compositions created by him, you can make a whole exhibition at home or in the country. An interesting and intelligible video lesson will help you if your own childhood has already been forgotten.

Postcard with dried flowers

An older child can make a panel or postcard with elements of natural materials. It uses the application technique, which kids also master quite early. The larger the details of the future product, the easier it is for a novice florist to handle them. Well, those children who already have the skills of such creativity can use small flowers, thin twigs and leaves for decoration.

It is worth immediately warning the child that this material is very fragile, and working with it requires patience, perseverance, and accuracy. But how nice it is to make a beautiful gift for mom, grandmother or favorite teacher with your own hands!

Procurement of material

But the embodiment of any of these wonderful ideas is impossible if the necessary natural materials are not collected and prepared properly. So let's talk a little about how to properly approach this issue.

As we remember, floral arrangements are voluminous(for example, bouquets) or flat(panels, postcards, paintings). Accordingly, the material for them will require different. In any case, of course, care must be taken to ensure that our plants retain their charm, do not lose their shape or color during drying. But the ways can be different

Plants for voluminous floristic compositions often dried by hanging upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area. It is important to remember that the sun's rays should not fall on the stems and inflorescences, otherwise they will lose their color. Be sure to monitor the humidity of the air: in a damp room, the grass will turn brown, may become moldy, their decorative qualities will be hopelessly lost.

well and for wrong it is most convenient to dry the plants in the same way as they were dried at the herbarium school: we shift the blanks with sheets of paper (we put them between the pages of magazines, newspapers, old books, and so on) and leave them under pressure in a dry room. Drying time largely depends on the plant itself.

How to properly prepare dried flowers for crafts and dry the herbarium is described in detail in the next video

Hello dear friends! Putting aside my decorations, I decided to relax a little and plunge into the world of my favorite floristry. There is a golden autumn in the yard and I brought out for you a new variety of roses with the same name "Golden Autumn"))).

Of course, this is not a real rose, but a rose made of leaves. I use aspen leaves because they look the most like rose petals. In floristry, flowers collected in this way are called glamelia. Whoever is not familiar with this name, I will explain, this is when a large flower is collected from individual flower petals (roses, lilies, gladiolus, etc.), each of which is planted on a wire.

And so let's get started.

We will need:

1. Aspen leaves of different sizes and different colors

2. Thin wire, I use floral stock

3. Floral tape

4 Scissors

To begin with, you need to choose about 30-35 leaves of various colors, evenly increasing. They must be fresh (it is much more difficult to work with dried leaves), clean (if the leaves are dusty, rinse them under water)

Chose, well, now you need to cut the petiole from each leaf.

Now we will prepare the wire by cutting it into pieces of 8-10 cm in an amount equal to our leaves.

Now we are preparing the teip tape, tear pieces of 4-5 cm in the same amount as the wire

Alright, now let's get to work.

I start from the largest petal. We take the largest sheet and thread the wire through it, about 0.5-0.7 cm from the bottom edge

We bend the wire, we do everything very carefully so as not to tear the sheet.

Now we take the teip tape and apply one end to the wire from the front side and clamp the whole thing between the fingers. Under the warmth of the hands, the teip tape will slightly stick to the leaf

Now we need to wrap the entire wire with teip tape. To do this, we begin to slightly stretch and wrap the base of the leaf and the stem of the wire with teip tape.

Here's what it should look like (front side)

Wrong side

To make sure everything is done correctly, turn the leaf horizontally, it should hold tightly on our artificial handle.

Thus, we make cuttings to the rest of the leaves, except for the smallest one.

Now take the smallest leaf

We roll the leaf into a narrow envelope

We take the wire and pierce all the layers of the envelope

bend the wire, as on the other sheets

We take a teip tape and wrap our stalk

Here are all our petals of the future rose

Well, the first stage is finished, let's start assembling

We take the core and the leaf next to it in size (we slightly bend the leaf at the base of the handle to the back, the promiscuity of the rose depends on the angle of the fold, the larger the angle, the more blossoming the rose will be)

We apply it to the core, as if wrapping it. We place the cuttings strictly PARALLEL

We take the next leaf and place it on the opposite side of the second petal (the core is the first leaf), as if trying to wrap the edges of the second

When all the petals are collected, you need to turn our flower over and fix the stem, to do this, wrap the leg with teip tape

Here's what we got

When the leaves dry, they will curl up and the rose will become more curly, something like this, this rose was made by me last fall

You can make such flowers any number, different sizes and colors.

How to use this is a matter of taste.

I made 2 panos from these roses (sorry for the quality of the photo)

To make the roses look more glossy, you can sprinkle them with hairspray.
