Florist experience

I spent my day today working in a Florist in Witham. I had a really good day, and I got to work on quite a few designs. This is the fourth or fifth time I've been into this Florist so I feel like they trust me more now and have confidence in my abilities, which is great. I'm going back again in a couple of weeks for another day, and they said I could book in for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day now if I want!

A little thank you

I made up this little bouquet as a gift for a girl at work called Becky, who has been really supportive with all my floristry so far so I thought she deserved a thank you!

Excuse the terrible quality photos!

Final assessment

I had my final assessment from the first unit at college this week - and it was another distinction! We also made a dried Biedermier tied posy for our portfolios, which are due in the week after next. There was a lot of wiring for this piece but I actually really like the outcome. I didn't think I'd like the dried materials but I think they're really effective.

Pink and white hand tied

A girl at work this week asked me to make up a bouquet that she could give to a friend as a thank you. She asked for pinks and whites, so here is what I came up with. I really like this arrangement, and I think it's one of the best ones I've done!
