A winter hobby has blossomed into a colorful and fun way to raise money for the Bethany Lutheran Church in Ishpeming.
Designing and creating silk flower arrangements are a passion for Shirley Tyni - Kay Frederickson and Ruthie Solberg.
They first buy a vase and then coordinate flowers to match.
They are even willing to do a design by request.
During the first three years, the trio has made over 300 flower arrangements - and all are unique.
Most of the floral arrangements run about ten dollars and are perfect gift for just about any reason or occ%@%@ion.
The floral arrangements are being sold in the Bell Memorial Hospital gift shop and the artists have traveled to arts and crafts shows
