Klaus Wagener has the Colours of this work of art extremely considered selectedto support the bereaved in the best possible way in their process of coming to terms with their loss.

The gentle Dusky pink lovingly commemorates the deceased and creates a delicate component that symbolises a special memory. The calming Grey symbolises the transience of life and contributes to a contemplative atmosphere. The classic mourning colour Black the designer expresses the seriousness and depth of grief. What stands out is the strong Garnet redwhich stands for enduring and never-ending love.

Of course, you have the freedom to arrange the colour elements according to your personal preferences and thus set your own accents for a particular colour symbolism. With this workpiece, you can use both the two-coloured wool felt "Klausi" as well as the single-coloured "Toni" felts use.

Step by step

Step 1:
Cutting felts to size
Take the roll of felt and cut square pieces with the scissors. You are welcome to choose different sizes for the squares, as this gives the artwork a looser effect in the end.

Step 2:
Threading on the wire
Now thread the cut pieces of felt onto the wire. The felt pieces can vary in size. To create a stronger colour contrast, it is advisable to arrange the colours of a felt one behind the other.
Step 3:
Addition of decorative elements
You can thread the pine cones and pieces of wood between the individual colour groups. Depending on the hardness of your pieces of wood, you can pierce the hole directly with the wire or pre-drill it with a drill if necessary. Alternatively, you can attach them with a hot glue gun or binding wire. The same is also recommended for the pegs.

Step 4:
Close wire circuit
Complete the circle by carefully shaping one end of the wire into an elaborate scroll using the combination pliers. Then thread the other end through the fine hole and shape it just as skilfully. Now you can loosen up all the elements a little by dividing them evenly around the ring.
Step 5:
Final spurt
Take the flower bowl with soil and place the flowers in it. Place the large stone in the centre of the flowers - it symbolises the heartache and grief caused by the loss of a loved one. Then place the decorative ring of tendrils over the flowers. Finally, decorate the workpiece with dried twigs. Et voilà, you have created a wonderful work full of emotion and deep meaning!
