Work experience

Seasonal flowers.

The picture above is a bunch in a jam jar. Not me, my college at Bloomsbury Flowers made it. Beautiful Nigella, which is in season, shows a fabulous combination with purple sweetpeas and clematis.

New Bond Street

New Bond Street is one of the most famous shopping street in Central London as well as Regent Street.

For florists, it's interesting to pass through the streets. Why? Because High-profile shop displays flowers that can be seen from outside. In my opinion, should you see flower vases at entrance of shop, definitely the trade targets rich customers.

New life

A temporary stay at Pimlico.

I had to relocate from Writtle College because the teaching term has finished and now summer vacation. All students that had lived in the campus had to move out.

I am staying a hostel at Pimlico, which is just by River Themes. This place gives me good bus transport to Central London. Just around 20 minutes away from Holbrn by bus. In addition, it takes just 10 minutes walk away from New Covent Garden Flower Market. That was the big reason why I chose here to stay.

Nigella(Love in a mist)

Nigella is in season.

In the couple of weeks, it is in Bloomsbury Flowers. It takes a bit time to condition and clean the stems. The cobweb is around the stems and flowers.

It is from the buttercup family. So it will no long in Oasis foam, which is shame.

I took the pic above in my Ikebana sensei'a home. So beautiful.

 

Bridal posy and Ikebana

Today, Wednesday is a day O learn Ikebana from my Ikebana sensei. 

I enjoyed making posy with her. The front one is my teacher's and the back is mine. These were taken in her lovely garden.

After that, I did Ikebana. The style was quite simple- Shoka Shohitai.

Though 真Shin and 副Soe were shrub, which is not appropriate, she said ok to use. The shrub tree was picked up from her garden.

With FE guys

Today, I went to Writtle college though it's summer off. I was set in to FE(further education) class to be filmed as an international student. A TV crew team was coming with British council. They wanted to film some good English collgeges.

It was not the first time to join FE class. Actually, I took part in there last year as a trail class when I was wondering if I would apply for the college.

The design was bunches with horizontal frame. I felt a bit hard as I never did that. But the final look was not too bad part from the position of focal flowers-gerbera and sun flowers.

It will be showcased for tomorrow open day.
