Floral Design 2


Here is my second creation from floral design--budvase design. We had one main flower (the rose) and needed to add a flower to create more height and substance in the design for a better look (the blue delphinium) and then some filler flowers and foliage. I like it. The class is so much fun!

Floral Design

Well, this being my last semester in school (probably ever), and only needing to take 3 classes to graduate, I decided to take a fun class or two (besides my usual load of dance classes). The result: I am taking Floral Design and flexibility--yes those are real classes, and yes I am taking them.

Floral Design is fun, but more time intensive than I would like for my last semester. That's okay. I'm learning a lot and now have a desire to open up my own flower shop, once I've had practice/experience. Whether that will become a reality remains to be determined.

Flexibility is so nice! I have missed being as flexible as I was while I still did hard core ballet. But I am slowly getting it back, with this twice a week class. We even have nap time at the end!!! Best class ever!

This semester isn't quite as lax as I would like. David, who is taking 18 credits including 5 business classes and philosophy has much more extra time on his hands. Mostly that is because I'm working a lot, so I have to schedule my time carefully. But still, here I am taking these fun, easy classes and he has more time! Grr!!! I guess things will be reversed when he is in Dental School...

I have posted below the first project I did in floral design. We just chose and wrapped the flowers. I will post more arrangements that I make as the semester goes along. It is fun though, and I already rocked the first test! Woot!!!
