I have enjoyed watching you as always. This video is better. I watched the old movie till I got it and could do it well enough and actuall taught it at the SDFA meeting a couple of years ago. Whenever I put it with a bouquet it gets rave reviews. Thank you for all you do to help educate.

Norma, glad that this Midollino spiral idea inspires. Xxx💚

[@elianagotilla6564]

Hi ! Beatific piece. You are a gifted teacher. I'd like to suggest that you write the materials you have used in the description so that we can be able to search for them. I'm Brazilian and some of the products we don't find them here. Thank you !

[@HitomiGilliam]

Thank you for watching Eliana. I do talk about the materials used in most part… the key ingredient I used here is Midollino, a type of rattan sticks which was available until most recently in the floral supplies. There’s a shortage so the line has been discontinued. You can still find similar to these in rolls through rattan and Reed suppliers on Amazon - Commonwealth Basket in different thicknesses. Xxx💚

[@jackdaniel3203]

Do you buy your supplies from different places? Or do you have a particular vendor that you buy your supplies from?

[@dianago6793]

The possibilities for this technique are endless! Would love to know the name and source for the wire-cutting scissors you use here. Thanks for sharing!

[@HitomiGilliam]

ARS tools from Japan. Xxx💚

[@HitomiGilliam]

@Kvlogs perera Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I'll definitely take a look at your channel! Keep up the great work!

[@angelahurd1121]

Hitomi, I've used this technique without diamond wire using Xerophyllum tenax however I've not used Midelino before. Would it achieve the same results ie nautilus spiral if you soaked the Midelino?

[@HitomiGilliam]

Hi Angela, no need to soak the Midollino to get the bend - its tensile enough to bend without soaking. Soaking may actually discolour the Midollino when dry.

[@niloujon1970]

Hi there Where can I buy medelino ??

[@cielosierradulcey]

Very good🥰🥰🥰

[@HitomiGilliam]

[@HitomiGilliam]

Awesome! Xxx💚

[@birteharley7291]

I would like to know where I can purchase the items to make this lovely design. Thanks you

[@HitomiGilliam]

Most floral wholesalers carrying Smithers Oasis products. Xxx💚

[@tiffanysmith2396]

I can not find Midollino sticks anywhere...any suggestions?

[@HitomiGilliam]

Since Midollino sticks have been discontinued… I am using #4 Reed from basketweaving store online sourced. They are less expensive, stronger(they don’t break) and the sticks are much longer… comes in rolls. Xxx💚

[@jackdaniel3203]

Where do you order your midollino from

[@HitomiGilliam]

Midollino has been discontinued by Smithers Oasis… I now buy round reed #4 grade natural from Levair’s Caning if in Canada. Anywhere else, google basket weaving supplies and you will find this material. Xxx💚

[@marycoakley7596]

What is.midaloon

[@HitomiGilliam]

Mary, Midollino is rattan Fiber sticks . Unfortunately as floral supplies, they have been discontinued in North America by Smithers Oasis. The closest material can now be purchased in rolls through Cane shops online like Commonwealth Basket. Xxx💚

[@jackdaniel3203]

I'm not sure I know what kind of glue that is. It sounds like you're saying you glue.

[@HitomiGilliam]

Yes, it’s UGlu which is a double sided glue tabs that come in a continuous roll. It’s made by Smithers Oasis. Xxx💚

[@HitomiGilliam]

Yes, it’s UGlu, it’s a sticky double sided glue tab that comes in a roll. It’s manufactured by Smithers Oasis. Xxx💚
