When I can't handle anymore, I have to go to the flowers for solace. Flowers, medicine for mind and body. Our unknowable companions on this planet.

Here are just a few photos from events I've done recently, both on the water in Sausalito and Lake Tahoe. When water is in the background I think a lot about it's sparkling, moving, transparent quality and try to reflect that in some way in the containers and flowers.
This basics workshop was held in June, but vacation and other flower related work delayed this posting of the fine work of all these new (to me) fellow flower lovers in the art and craft of floral design.
In a sense it's not so bad that time has passed. The flowers are long gone and there is just enough time to have forgotten them to be able to revisit and say wow, I made that! Whether you're pleased or not, you all made a great start and are on the road!
