  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.
