Smile How can I improve?

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread where we each select an area of floristry, or floral-related, that we feel we could personally improve on.

Ok...I'll go first...

I'd like to improve my basing skills and taping skills!

i'd like

I'd like to improve my contemporary designs......I sometimes feel I'm getting left behind. I know I can make anything, but need to look around more to see what people actually want in the way of modern.

I love to look at the albums.....it certainly helps me keep up to date with what's out there.
