Demonstrate Flower Arrangements
Mrs. Omer Oscar I'll, a
nationally recognized flower
arranger, from Lynchburg.
Virginia, came to the Louis
burf- College Auditorium.
Thursday afternoon, to dem
onstrate a variety of flower i
arrangements that could be j
used in the home.
Mrs. I'tt is also an accred
ited flower show judge with a?
Masters Certificate, im
mediate past president of Vir
ginia Federation of Garden
Clubs and is now serving as a
South Atlantic Chairman. She
is past president of the
Lynchburg Council of Harden
Cluhs a rfoarter member
and director of the American
Daffodil Society.
Sirs. I'tt staled that every -
one who places flowers in a
container puts something per
sonal into the arrangement.
She said that one should not
be afraid to have friends or
garden club members see ones
efforts and no one need apol
ogize for what one creates j
with flowers. Mrs. Utt feels it I
is of great importance to re
tain one's own particular |
technique, especially with ar
rangements for the hiime.
In her demonstration of
essential forms, eleven ar
rangements were made, using
the vertical line, triangle de
sign. Oriental influence, hori
zontal line and mass design.
In her lecture along with
the demonstration, it was
learned that the more unusual
material, line anN color, you
could use. the more distinc
tion the design would have.
This was depicted in an ar
rangement using curved knott
weed and Red Japanese
peonies in a most effective
way.
Another design, where the
arranger had used her imagi
nation. she took the curved
glass off an old framed pic
ture and used it on a teak
MRS UTT
wood stand for her container.
The triangle Oriental manner
was the influence here using
three a^idistra leaves and
two spider mums. Large
chunks of green glass were
used at the base. The highest
point curved over the direct
center giving stability to the
arrangement.
The influence of Victorian
elegance was handsomely
done in an Alabaster con
tainer. This was a massive
design using all white flowers
of stock, gladiolas. carna
tions. mums and varigated
hosta for a touch of greenery.
Mrs. Utt warned the guests
that when using an Alabaster
container to be sun1 to use a
liner or six coats of parafin
inside the container as water
will disintegrate Alabaster.
These were only a few
examples of her art I hat
could bring., beauty into the
home.
Mr. Utt was given a tour of
Louisburg College by Mr.
David Daniel while his wife
gave her demonstration.
Mrs. Utt's appearance was
sponsored by the U>uisburg
Garden Club and members of
the club and guest from in
and out of town enjoyed' this
special occasion.
