Simple materials are transformed into a singular statement piece for a dining table or sideboard in this creation by Svetlana (Lana) Chernyavsky, AIFD, of Dream Flowers in San Leandro, Calif. Layers of moss, succulents and Tillandsias are glued to the pine board anchored atop a quintet of green glass bottles. String-of-pearls (Senecio) vines add interest as they dangle to the tabletop, and tiny wood “cookies” make an interesting garland wending among the plants. For an alternative to the all-green palette, tuck in small long-lasting blooms among the greenery.
