For Alice

Ah Geeze, that sounds a little like the beginning of a eulogy. Sorry about that! No, I just became acquainted with Alice by phone recently. She's sad she can't make it to the Pave' Class coming up soon. So here's some Pave's I made recently to tease all of you into the flower fold and to show Alice.

Yes, a Pave' Class at College of Marin is coming right up!
Pave's are low arrangements of tightly packed flower heads. You've seen them most often made with succulents planted in dirt for a wall hanging or table.These are short flowers heads in water in shallow containers. They are a great little option to have up one's sleeve for a low table, in the bathroom, side table....
There's a long tradition in Europe among other countries for using flowers this way. I found them a little more tricky to make interesting than I expected..Come play with flowers. Who is bringing the chocolate??

Note: Addition to the class: I'm going to do a demo only of a Valentine Pave in a small heart shaped box with tiny flowers in honor of the upcoming festival of love. Then we'll commence making Pave's in the container you brought.
