I took up this hobby last year as a complete beginner. Each month we are given a theme and each
person interprets it to suit his or her space, therefore each piece of work is
different.
Kath, our time- served florist teacher, scores each display
and, to my utter amazement, I won a silver cup for best newcomer. I was over the moon to receive my first cup for anything at all and I am not at all what you would call artistic.
I find the process therapeutic and enjoy the company of the
others in the class, none of whom take themselves too seriously.

The foliage in the garden (and those of my neighbours) are
pruned to within an inch of their lives and I can’t pass a charity shop or car
boot without finding a container which may house a display.

Wow, beautiful. You're really talented. I've never tried it before.
ReplyDeleteLooks to me as though you thoroughly deserve that cup - well done!
ReplyDeleteI've always longed to be able to arrange flowers. These are lovely. Mine always look like they've been plonked down for a minute while I get on with something else!

That is so cool that you are giving yourself time to experiment with things that you have wanted to do! The flower arranging looks awesome.
