First college assessment

I had my first assessment at college this week - and I got a distinction! We had 15 minutes to make the bouquet from start to finish but I was done in less than 10. The first photo is the cone wrap I made for the assessment. My tutor said it was "very commercial work showing excellent wrapping techniques, neat construction". Pretty good feedback I'd say!

The second photo shows what we made in the afternoon - a tied sheaf. This piece is for our portfolios.

Anniversary

Today is my brother and his wife's first wedding anniversary, and he asked me to make up a bouquet for her. They had lilac roses for their wedding but they're hard to get a hold of so I just kept with the purple colour scheme for this bouquet. I didn't want them to be the same as the ones I made last week so I got gypsophila and statice to make them a bit different.

I think I'm getting there with the photography too! Considering I got an A in my photography module at uni and have a decent camera you'd think I would be capable of taking a good photo, but apparently not! I played around with my camera though and the lighting is much better in these (I haven't edited them at all) I still need to find a decent backdrop though!
