Winding / Bending

A great way of manipulating leaves or stems into appealing shapes, is by using the winding or bending technique. You can use some wire to bend the leaf exactly into the desired shape or to make use of the natural flexibility of the leaf or flower. Calla’s for example, are great for winding and to create charming, romantic designs. Look at great examples of how the winding/bending technique can be applied in flower designs in this topic.
