Welcome and thanks for popping in! I'm Astar, and I make all sorts of videos on my RU-vid channel, Astar's Place. You will find endless inspiration for floristry, crafts, sewing, beauty, lotions & potions and much more. I’m all about living on the smell of an oily rag and still being fabulous. I like beautiful things and want to surround myself with them. I love that I can turn my hand to recreating whatever I desire. I hope I can solve some of your wants and desires with my quick and easy approach to achieving all that is possible with a little know-how.
I SO cannot do lotus pods because of my trypophobia. They absolutely make me queasy and nauseous. Can’t even finish this video! 😰 Crazy I know, but it’s real! No flower frogs, either! 😳🫤🤷♀️
Love how just the simple addition of three stems changed this so much! I think this would be beautiful late summer, too, because the yellow reminds me of corn! 🌽 My new neighbors are growing acres of corn all around me right now, haha! Perfect! 🌼 I love how you show us light touches and small tweaks can have a big impact 🙏🏻
Hi Jesse, sometimes it's the little additions that make all the difference. I have several of these, which are known by my friends as the 'buy sell & exchange designs'... you buy the flowers & I'll add them in to theme your event & then you return it. Surrounded by corn. I'm giving that visual thought. Warm regards Astar
Again- it's one of my favorites. I need an arrangement for autumn in this style with coffee, toffee, and cream color theme for and entry table. I would love to see your vision. I have followed you from your first video and am always amazed by the gift you share with the world. It's late spring here in Texas and autumn 🍂 is just around the corner. Kindest regards.
I love this,do u need an ink jet printer or will any printer work,all i have is my tablet and phone i don't own a computer,and i know a printer can be hooked up to both phone and tablet,thank you ❤
Hi Wanda, I wash mine just to ensure it's free of manufacturer's chemicals/dirt etc. Give it a good iron to remove wrinkles & you are good to go. Hope this has helped? Warm regards Astar
Very lovely, Astar! Your designs lately really have been extra beautiful and elegantly balanced! Grey tones seem to be all the rage these days, at least here in the US, and most of them are done pretty badly. But you’re reinvigorating them with the essence of nature!
Hi Converse, isn't the spider plant fabulous. It's one of my favourite plants. I have a whole new series coming in which the focus is all about beautiful foliages in design. Warm regards Astar
Hello, I'm not an Australian & I don't reside there. Autumn is my fall & fall is my autumn. Moving forward I'll try & refer to both. Sorry if I have offended. Warm regards Astar
