Home and Garden Show Design Contest
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010We didn’t know what we were going to have to make. We didn’t know what container we would have. We didn’t know what type of materials we would have to work with. We did know we were finalists at Koehler and Dramm’s design Competition and were competing for the title of Florist of the Year and we had 25 minutes. Go! The time felt like it was over in 5 minutes. It was a beautiful bucket of foliage and flowers to choose from. We were to design an entryway piece for the Home and Garden Show with the theme of “Go Green”. There were some fantastic designers I was competing against. I am not a fast worker, I am a deliberate, meticulous designer. That hurt me. I broke a sweat. I did not win. I om okay with not winning and I am so glad that I delivered a pretty finished piece, that I had fun, that my daughter and husband were there to cheer me on, and that my husband brought me a beer at 5 minutes! Next year maybe! Show below in ascending order is me trying to figure out what I was going to do, a couple action photos, my piece, other contestants pieces, then the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place winners.
