Leaf

I made a preserved flower here. I wanted to make it by myself to give a birthday present for a foreign friend of mine. She is my first foreign friend. Very cheerful, gentle, polite and charming woman. She is an ELT of a school where I attend as a volunteer instructor. We clicked with each other immediately when we first met. Incidentally her birthday and mine is very close. We would like to congratulate on our birthday, but our schedule didn’t match, so we gave it up.
She tends to wear in brown whose color suits her well. So I selected chic colored roses in basic and arranged flowers under the instruction of a flower teacher. It needs fine techniques and a sense of beauty. I was annoying how to arrange flowers or place leafs. After I finished my works, my heart was full of satisfaction.
The following day she was beside herself with joy when she received it. I was also happy to see her.
Tips: The preserved flower of the picture costs 2500yen including all the materials (of course flower vase) and tuition fee. In addition we enjoyed a cup of tea and small cake which the teacher prepared for us. It costs at least 1500yen or so to make the preserved flower. The teacher was very gentle and has a good sense of beauty. I advise you to try it once.
