Recipe by: Ideals Magazine 1. Starting with the Silver
King artemisia (or the lightest colored herb), arrange
several sprigs, stems outward, to create a curved row
on the form. Attach each sprig to the form with
florist's pins.
2. Create a second and third row with the rest of the
artemisia so that the three rows are equidistant from
each other. Pin in place as before. Be sure to keep
all sprigs curving in the same direction and to
overlap the sprigs to hide the pins.
3. Alongside each row of the artemisia and using the
same technique, make three rows each of the opal basil
and the parsley or whatever herbs give the highest
contrast to the first. You should now have twelve rows
in all on the form.
4. Attach the wire loop to the back of the wreath for
hanging.
Note One: The finished wreath will be 2 to 4 inches
larger than the form, so choose the size accordingly.
Note Two: Use opal basil, Silver King artemisia,
parsley, and sage or another combination with nice
color contrast, such as lamb's ears, rosemary, Silver
Lake artemisia, and tansy.
