The Hat Fell on the Floor...

Let's try to recreate a still life from artificial fruit. With this purpose we need to buy the straw hat and glue a small oasis of dried flowers to it. The artificial branches of strawberry we steer with glue into the oasis, drawing a moon-like line on the hat. Also, we use the wide leaves of strawberry to cover a few dried ginger leaves, which we previously paint gold. Then, we put all the elements on the wire and affix them with glue. Bunches of grapes can be divided into a few parts. We can also use a glue stick to fix the apples. The dried grass is wired from both sides. Then we fill the center. That is quite right: yellow and orange apples compliment the blue and green grape bunches (dark and bright). To increase volume we use grass to make circles in various planes and in some places we also can add colored acorns. The list of components is not limited to those mentioned; everyone can create a composition according to his or her own mood and taste.

Of course, this masterpiece should not be put on a hatrack. It should be placed in a cozy corner of a verandah or kitchen with wicker armchairs and baskets next to wheat stalks and decorative bast shoes. In other words its setting should be in the style of folk art.
