Very impressive! Especially in the time frame. Have you done this item before, or did it have to be planned out on the spot?
Also, how did you come up with the plastic parts (hubcaps, etc) and decal that are included?

NICE!
Creative use of those endcaps from cello rolls, and paper towel tubes? - now I know why I save those endcaps ..... sometimes a moderation of packrat-itis pays off.
Great job!

We've done many motorcycles. The logo was printed out on card stock and cut out and glued on. As for the little accessories, they are everyday items found around the flower shop. For example, the wheel centers were the ends of the big rolls of wax tissue, silver and gold paint can tops were used, silk flower stems were sprayed silver, cardboard foil rolls were sprayed silver, and other misc. items that look like they could be motorcycle parts parts were used.
Wow! Impressive, to say the least.
I really like how you used the foliage cluster with the banner to increase the size and visual value. Placing the banner over or extended from the bike (as would typically be done) would have hidden or distracted from the craftsmanship.
That's the workmanship and skills of a real designer. *applause*

We charged $350. The family bought $1000 worth of flowers,a Letter "D",a heart on easel and a few other pieces.
I did not count flowers but would guess 250 carnations were used.
Cathy,
I like using the cluster of greens underneath the bike because it visually anchors the design down so it doesn't look like it's just floating.

Great work! Of course, nothing less would have been expected from you! What were the dimensions?

AWESOME!! My mom and I did a motorcycle last year, I have to say, I like yours better!!! Of course, I never love my own form pieces, even though everyone else seems to ohh and ahh over them. I think it is an artist thing, always thinking it could be better, I am never completely happy with my paintings either.
wow! only $350! They got a heck of a deal. How long did it take to make? How is it all connected. I would LOVE to know how you put this together. we have a lot of bikers in our town. My assistant manager rides all the time. I hate to say it but we do a lot of biker funerals. seriously, I really would like to know how you did that. It's wonderful.
shannon,
It is made on 4" thick Styrofoam cut out in a motorcycle shape. Carnations are inserted with tooth picks.
