Street vase now: the future and materials
As a reward through a flower pot, the vase has a special decorative effect due to its unusual shape. It can be of two types:
for a pedicle or pedestal
in the form of an elongated vessel
This design raises the vase above the ground and reprimands the highest part, highlighting it between the grass and the flowerbeds. Vases in the majority use like a tapeworm, planting in their more effective and kaloritnye plants. The highest marble vases set for the border of the lawn visually extend the terrain and divide the site of the site for fairly large areas
English vases
The shape for the leg is again called the urn, cup or English vase, because it is in the British garden that this element of decor was found in most cases. Now the kind of goblet differs considerably through its predecessors with a restrained decor.
Therefore, modern manufacturers reprimand for materials and unusual shape of the bowl, without piling up the decor. In most cases, such containers are cast from gypsum, concrete, fiberglass and plastic. A person with the highest income receives vases from natural stone. It is necessary to extract richly decorated reliefs and statues of English vases like solitaires, placing them far through lush flower beds
The rich texture of natural stone is the main decoration, therefore such vases-urns do not decorate with ornaments and stucco, but painstakingly polish for the sake of giving shine
Greek flavor
From the era of Old Greece, we got floor vases resembling large vessels with and without handles, with a wide neck and narrow. Street variants are sometimes filled with living plants, because it is problematic to change the ground and take care of the root system.
They are usually put up for elevation in order to accentuate reverence for a certain area of the site, or fill it with dried flowers and arrange for terraces, in flower gardens, near arches, pergolas. For the greenish background of the weaving plants, the Greek vase looks very beautiful, because it immediately attracts to itself a look
Vases in the style of hi-tech and miniaturism
In the twentieth century, an outdoor vase acquired ascetic design and regular geometric shapes. There are no drawings - just exact stripes and spectacular materials: metal, wire, plastic, glass, concrete.
In the street landscape, cubic, pyramidal and round vessels look great. Usually, such vases are painted in mono or in two contrasting colors: black and white, black and red, etc. The highest rectangular vases with increasing in their boxwood can start a successful option of separating the orchard or kitchen garden through recreation areas
Like using vases in landscape design
The individual visibility of a decorative vessel is calculated for a well-known landscape taste. If this is not taken into account, then even the most elegant vase looks pretty for the site by an alien element.
Traditional styles
English vases are useful to extract in the gardens of permanent and landscape styles, the Mediterranean landscape. The park in the Mediterranean style means a product closed through third-party eye zones. And the English vase for the pedestal will fit perfectly into this view
Tips for placing English vases:
A vase for a low pedestal with a wide bowl is put like a tapeworm in a secret corner of the garden (desire for a pedestal), for crossing tracks or in a garden bench.
If the leg is the highest, and the fate is of a small diameter, then they are allowed to assess the well-wisher against the friend, combining a certain zone together. For example, the emergence and ending of the central track. This dose is called"alleyne". More appropriate for a vast area, not cluttered with small sculptural forms and structures.
Quite large bowls are allowed to be arranged according to the circle, giving up the parade share of the site, in the center of which the fountain, house or swing may hang.
There's a hectic hedge in the line. A special action is given by a combination of snow-white or grayish bowls filled with colorful plants (petunias, marigolds), with a greenish hedge background. The earth is piled with pebbles by the vases.
Just right, direct attention, which in the winter look chic British vases filled with pine branches. For the sake of our snow country this is vital. The installation of English bowls for the legs of a well-wisher against a friend in the corners of a certain zone joins together the place, giving the terrain a perfection
Oriental and Italian gardens
Vases-vessels successfully fit into the interior of the Italian garden, in fact from which they appeared. However, all this should be taken into account, which nowadays the Italian taste is held by serious symmetry and geometricity, which was not in the era of the old Greeks. Consequently, the vases in Italy are located in pairs, for example, at the entrance to the pergola, near the fountain, for the steps of the terrace.
Where to put a vase in the eastern garden:
At the entrance to the park (certainly with flowers, because the entrance symbolizes the gateway to paradise).
If the paths in the garden break the terrain for a square, then the vessel is placed in the center of 2-3 squares, located far away from the well-wisher through a friend.
Along the shoreline of the stream or the fountain that flows into the pond
According to both sides through the wall fountain
Oriental styles also use vases-vessels, because the sight of the Greek vase is very identical with the Chinese one. However, if in Italy welcome restrained natural tone (ignoramus, snow-white, brick), the East gravitates toward brightness. Vessels can be decorated with mosaics, painted in three and more colors, creating unusual ornaments. Fate, filled with colored pebbles, in the Muslim garden can begin the center of the courtyard, emphasizing the symmetry and severity of the composition forms
Modern + industrial styles
In modern styles, use vases, invented only in the twentieth century (not earlier!).
Hi-tech can be filled with a lot of cubes, pyramids and other unique forms of vessels. The bottom line is that they all be made from the first material. The monolithic nature of the concrete pedestal, the strict geometric stripes and the minimum of plants in the bowl - all the signs of a modern vase in the spirit of hi-tech
Minimalism is pretty 2-3 unique vases, located at a certain pace. And if the vessel is of impressive size, then no more than one. The composition, usually, is put for the lawn, and a single unit - before the house or at first the front track.
In an industrial style, a vase is used as a tapeworm. They put it for no reason, so that she could inspect not only from all sides of the plot, but also from the windows of the house. With all this, the design of the vessel is forced to exist super-ordinary, and matter - wire, metal (rusted). A low vase is installed for a pedestal made of bricks.
Eclectic and Country
The liquid owner can withstand a serious style. Usually for personal farmsteads there is a mixture of styles (eclecticism). And in this landscape it is permissible to apply any visibility of the vase, if it is in harmony with the rest of the decor of a certain zone, or do something original with your own hands.
It's time that vase-homemade vases are very appropriate in rural styles, where the full look emphasizes the owner's imagination and is not limited to the framework of style traditions. Specifically in these gardens, the cheapest are"accustomed"cheap plastic vases, vessels, hollowed out of wood, wicker bowls. They do not use them empty, but fill with fresh flowers, driftwood, reeds, etc. Byl, for the winter, this decor will have to be removed, because wood and plastic do not have frost resistance, and through the temperature drop they will explode or wriggle out. In the gardens of the village style, the vases are placed in a disorderly manner, filled with an abundance of the brightest colors planted in several tiers.
In village styles , vases are always part of the composition, mixing with flowers and ornamental shrubs, animal figures or fairy-tale characters. They help to make a multi-tiered flower bed, while the pedestal often hides in low plants. Therefore, the decor of the vases can exist very mild, wood and concrete do not stain, but preserve their natural texture.
Master classes according to the production of self-made vases
It is not always possible to bribe a decorative vase of suitable design and size, because only a few people are engaged in this craft. And the construction of natural stone and concrete is also always expensive. However, a brilliant element of the landscape can be done by one's own hands, with a very light method.
Let's look at three variants of self-made vases.
Method #1 - vase made of rags and concrete
If you did not have anything to do with the creation of the vases or even of any sculptural forms - start with this vase. It is made from old rags - a knitted sweater, a woolen large-mesh fabric or burlap. In a word, find a thing that has lost a brilliant appearance - and because of the occupation. The particularly brilliant design and simplicity of the creation of the vase from rags provided them with the highest reputation between summer residents and owners of private houses
The development of the creation of outdoor vases from old curtains or skirts is so common and understandable that any non-professional can test it for their own site
For the sake of work, stock up:
An old bucket
brand 500 cement
"Fairy"bank for washing dishes (used as a plasticizer)
A pair of rubber gloves.
Step-by-step order:
The old weather is turned upside down and set for a hill (curb, bar, etc.) in a shady place. From the bottom, cover the ground with cardboard or film, so that the running concrete does not spoil the appearance.
Throw around for a fitting for the weather rag, from which you will make a vase. It is necessary that the edges of the canvas freely embrace the container, forming folds and not meeting obstacles from below. Determine with the shape of the vase at a time (asymmetric, with a bevelled edge, etc.), because then do not change its hardening.
Dissolve the cement in the basin with water before the mixture of curdled sour cream, pour in there a little"Fairy"(for the concrete weather, the tea deepening property) and stir.
Immerse a rag in the solution, let it be taught with concrete.
Lubricate the outer appearance of the bucket with vegetable oil, so that the appearance of it does not stick.
Pull out the soaked matter and, without squeezing, throw for the weather, giving that vase shape that was conditioned in advance.
In the course of 3 days the vase should dry. At times (for 2-3 days), sprinkle it with water, so that the concrete is evenly crocheted. This will make the product more frost-resistant.
After 3 days, pull the weather out from under the vase, and turn the work itself upside down and put the canopy to dry for a week.
The finished vase is covered with a primer to reduce porosity, painted with acrylic paints or decorated with varnish for the sake of external work in accordance with concrete and stone.
If you have then left the assembly work, a piece of plastic pipe with a huge diameter, it can be zadkorirovat moistened in cement material, placing the fabric folds. The work is very unusual in accordance with the design and will fit into the park of any modern style. Having zadekorirovav old capacity with material impregnated with concrete, you get an unusual and strong floor vase, which is not afraid of winter and rain
Method #2 - vase from a small crushed stone
It happens that once in the building was bought a plastic vase, which has lost its relevance and does not fit into an unprecedented form. Assign her a second existence, zadekorirovav gravel. Then she will acquire the features of a traditional stone vase. A vase of small rubble fits in every taste, where natural materials are taken from the base, hence it is placed in the eastern garden and in the village garden
For this you will need:
plastic vase
cement marks 500;
dust of a small fraction
«Фейри»;
small gravel;
Screwdriver and screws
kapron fiber or soft wire
gloves, trowel.
