1:3 :: carnations

I feel like I am getting all the tough ones out of the way first. The carnation is especially tough. I think it looks best in two different ways. 

1. In "carpet" form, which Bornay does in a way that is truly breathtaking. Seriously, go look at her site. amazing!

2. In ball form. When carnations are made into a pomander or ball centerpiece they are really quite fun and graphic. This table scape is via Host-It Notes.

Since this weekly post is not called 1:2, i had to come up with a third way to showcase the carnation. I think this single bloom paper version does the trick...and it won't wilt and die! via Paper Craft Planet

Does anyone else have a favorite way to use carns? please share!
