Curving lines can bring a sense of grace and elegance to a design - an especially welcome quality in festive compositions. Creating designs using organic sickle shapes naturally introduces curving elements. Their crafted forms and fluid lines add impact and interest without overwhelming the flowers. Using metallic wire to bind the sickles offers a subtle glistening element that makes the final arrangement fit easily into almost any Christmas context.

Amazing ideas. Thank you.
The sickles are very versatile and can be used in many different ways, not only for a festive design. I liked the fact that a subtle Christmas feeling was encouraged for the designs in this forum.
Enjoyed the challenge and learnt so much. Mark's ability to see what might be with a few subtle changes is amazing.
Festive Thinking provided an opportunity to work to a theme and then see just how totally different everyone's ideas are, when developing that theme. The feedback provided was clear and focused on improvement. It was also great to have certain design styles discussed - in particular the explanation of displacement from container was insightful.
That the Festive Thinking courses are extremely worthwhile, cost effective and so convenient to be able to watch the videos at home and then revue at one's leisure.

Amazing ideas. Thank you.
Festive Thinking expanded my design process. Mark’s books and video explained the task clearly and with detailed instructions and examples. The feedback session was informative providing suggestions on improvement and self reflection on the design created. Mark’s detailed analysis gives insights into the application of the elements and principles of design. I enjoyed the course and look forward to the next Flower Thinking offering.

I have learnt a lot from Mark and learnt from my mistakes and how to analyze my designs. I would love to do further courses on competitive work
Festive Thinking was a great experience. I was inspired by the contributions of the other designers. I also valued the attention Mark gave to the design evaluations. I’m looking forward to further Flower Thinking learning opportunities in the future
I highly recommend any of Flower Thinking courses - all opportunities create a building of foundation to think differently enhancing our creative thoughts. The following image is my Christmas 2023 design made from a sickle form.
I enjoyed the feedback sessions on the designs, particularly when shown the changes that could be made to the designs to improve them. Mark had a great way of explaining aspects and reasons for the changes he would suggest.
Festive Thinking allowed me to expand my creativity. Mark’s ebooks and video explanations were clear and provided examples of the task. I throughly enjoyed creating with the sickles and the online forum. Mark expert advice and suggestions gives insights into the designer’s arrangements. This allows for self improvement and reflection on my own creation. A wonderful experience I look forward to the next Flower Thinking offering.
