Wire Topiary Frames To Create Your Landscape Centerpiece
By Suzzie T Franklin
Wire topiary frames are becoming quite popular, especially as
centerpieces in the front or backyard. They are even used for
special events like weddings, parties and other social occasions.
These days, it is easy to make a shape of an animal or a person
or a chosen design using wire topiary frames and topiary plants.
You do not have to be a full time sculptor, to create these wonderful
shapes.
Many of us love the look of a manicured landscape adorned with
artfully designed topiary plants. Years ago, you would have to
be a skilled plant sculptor to achieve this look. Today, wire
topiary frames provide a way to create a beautiful scene on your
own.
Twist And Bend Into Any Shape
We can consider the frames to be the backbone of the arrangement.
Wire topiary frames offer forms for your project. These devices
are wonderful because they allow you to twist and bend them into
just about any shape that you want.
You can make all sorts of beautiful forms using the wire topiary
frames. All you need is select a general shape that appeals to
you and you are well on your way to creating a masterpiece for
your display. There are some options to consider when choosing
one of the many wire topiary frames on the market.
Live Growing Arrangement Or An Artificial Arrangement
The first thing that you need to consider is whether you want
live, growing arrangements or whether you want an artificial arrangement.
The wire topiary frames that are designed for living plants are
a little different than the ones designed for artificial plants.
Choosing between the two should be a no-brainer.
If you are a beginner, then you may want to practice working
with the smaller wire topiary frames designed for artificial plants.
As you hone your skills, you can begin working with more complex
living arrangements. Soon you will find that this natural art
form is addictive.
Wire Topiary Frames For Artificial Centerpieces
I started using wire topiary frames for artificial centerpieces
used at my wedding reception. Guests were allowed to take them
home and to my surprise, this became a bit of a problem because
they were so popular. I decided to make more presentations using
the wire topiary frames to use as gifts.
As my interest in this art form began to grow, I started to delve
into living arrangements. There are wire topiary frames that are
preformed and ready to go. You can choose traditional garden shapes
or adorable garden animals.
Perfect For Outdoor Use
These wire topiary frames are designed to resist rust and are
perfect for outdoor use. They are formed and sprayed with a protective
coating. Some of the planting forms are covered in moss that helps
to keep the plant moist.
Soon, I hope to graduate to more complex intricate designs that
I create myself. Working with wire topiary frames has been a rewarding
hobby that has beautiful benefits.
One of the benefits is they help improve the landscape around
my home. Visitors comment on my use of wire topiary frames and
ask me about my techniques. I have helped some of my friends install
wire topiary frames on their yard.
I have recently created a couple of new shapes to look like active
animals. These help keep birds from eating too much fruit from
my fruit trees. I do not mind birds eating some of the fruit,
but recently they came to my fruit trees and ate all of the fruit.
After I placed a number of animal shapes in wire topiary frames,
the birds seem to come less often. As a result, I have more fresh
fruit to feed my family and friends.
As you can see, wire topiary frames can be used in ways other
than decoration.
