Thanks for the welcome. I will be here often as I am trying to teach myself flower arranging - both traditional and non-traditional.

Today was very frustrating. I was trying to make a calla lily arrangement for a teacher. My biggest problem is getting the stalks to stay where I put them. I must have worked on it for an hour. Tried 2 different vases and finally gave up and just did 1 calla bloom and 3 leaves in a bud vase. Even that was hard bcs the neck isn't really big enough for 4 of those thick stems!

I'm sure there are tricks that I will eventually learn. But it's kinda painful right now - except for the simple underwater ones. Being able to do a basic underwater arrangement is saving my sanity right now!

Here's a couple more pics. Thanks to whoever's arrangement I plaigarized!
