2. Place additional flowers by randomly inserting them into vase (Fig. 40-4). Work down from the primary flower to the rim of the vase. For a structured look, space the flowers evenly. If designing a vase to be seen from all sides, be sure the shape is round and the flower placement balanced. (Fig. 40-5).
