- By request, here it is: the long-waited tutorial on designing with cool tonal greys and white!
I’ve talked about monochromatic and achromatic colour-ways and as promised here is a quick look at how to work with not black and not white but that magical colour in between called cool grey. I shouldn’t really say cool, because just by adding in a bit of warmth the grey can actually offer up a bit of warmth, but I’ll save that for another day!
Today I’m demonstrating with a crisp white container and to add a bit more visual interest, it helps to bring the grey black onto the surface of the container. To do this I usually apply a ‘rub and transfer’ label. Because the end result will be vintage, I have themed this via the selected motif.
Now we come to the best part - selecting the foliage’s and flowers to work with.
I’m using a combination of grey eucalyptus, pussy willow, lambs’ ear, but there are many more to choose from… & then the following blooms: White dried daisies which fortunately have brackish centres along with brackish lotus pods and because I love them, a few dried off sunflowers that bring in a touch of colour.
This tutorial is more about tonal values thus the blooms dried off blooms and not the crisp vibrancy offered up by fresh living flowers, which I cover in a later video.

DIANA-mite! Simply, SUPREME.

Love your hair!!!!!
That's great Astar. I wish you were my neighbor .😊
Gorgeous arrangement Astar. The pussywillows, to me, just make it lovely. Thank you for sharing.
I SO cannot do lotus pods because of my trypophobia. They absolutely make me queasy and nauseous. Can’t even finish this video! 😰 Crazy I know, but it’s real! No flower frogs, either! 😳🫤🤷♀️
Absolutely lovely arrangement
I love the way all the colours, compliment each other, so beautifully👍💋💚🤍🤎💛
Please don’t ever grow up Astar; you’re fabulous just the way you are . Beautiful design as always 🎉
Very lovely, Astar! Your designs lately really have been extra beautiful and elegantly balanced! Grey tones seem to be all the rage these days, at least here in the US, and most of them are done pretty badly. But you’re reinvigorating them with the essence of nature!
Beautiful!
Trypophobia activated, but that arrangement is a beauty.
SAME!!! No lotus pods! 😱😱😱😱 🤷♀️
