I love seeing other florists work, and as one of the members said it's a matter of taste like everything in life. My family are artists so I know all about different tastes. Like floristry you present your work to the public and hope for the best! Also like floristry you put your heart and soul into your work.
When I was training as an artist I remember my lecturer saying "follow the basic rules and you will stay on the right track", when I was training as a florist, doing my city and guilds my tutor said the same thing.
Not everyone is as brave as lavender but I hope that when they post their pics the the gallery they do want comments. I always try (when I have the time) to go into the gallery and offer supportive comments to other members. I know there are a small band of people who do the same. I think it would be nice if more people commented on the pics considering how may hits they get. What do the rest of you think?
