From Malaysia - I chanced upon your tutorial and I simply love your leaf manipulation techniques. Thank you 🙏 And thanks for the great treat at the end - Cheers 🥃!

Hi @margaretsoo! Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed this video and hope you'll find time to watch some of the others as well! Do you enjoy bourbon, too? I'm assuming that if you have bourbon there, it would all be imported to you? Thanks again - please keep following along! Cheers!

Hello Mark. I love leaf manipulation and aspidistra is a great leaf to use. As a floral designer great to do such. Fortunately for me I grow them in Barbados and a bunch when imported could be about 20.00 USD.
You are the first designer who I see has a tasting session when finish designing. I ❤look forward to that part.

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Hi Jan! I'm sure aspidistra is plentiful in your area! And, that's such a great thing! They are a wonderful and very sturdy leaf to use in design work and hold up well with manipulation! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you're enjoying the tasting portion, too! Cheers!

Ohhhh YEAH you know I love greenery! And I loved learning about making leaf whimsies! I had no idea they would stay fresh with all the slits. OBVIOUS NOTE: I think some buttons zinnias (they come in green, don't they?) would be the perfect punctuation for that arrangement (bc you gotta have some polka dots!). I love learning from you, Mark. Cheers!

[@creativeoccasionseventsflo8075]

Green buttons would be so much fun in this! Thank you for your continued friendship and support! Cheers!
