After all the cake training I have thus far, I still feel like I needed to get extra training on actual flower making. I already had flower making training in my basic cake decorating class at NegoSkwela, but it was so quick we only went over the roses and leaves and about two other flowers. So I was still a bit lost.
Today was my first class with Heny Sison herself and let me tell ya, she is very nice and pretty funny. There were a good three people in my course, but what happens is she conducts about three different classes intertwined. She also conducts the cake decorating 3 and lambeth method. I guess she does it to inspire those who are taking quick courses to enroll in her other courses. So in total there were about 10 to 12 of us. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to do her whole series. Today as I saw the other classes, it made me want to take it because those are the things I want to learn.
Today, we've made Forget Me Not's or was it Baby's Breath?? (as usual I forgot), Filler Flowers and Buds. That took us a good 3 hours because she requests these in 6 or more to practice on. We were supposed to make three other flowers, but we didn't get to make it because we are slow as molasses. And of the 3 students, I'm the slowest and the most uncrafty person! I actually cheated and had this sweet classmate named Mars do it for me. Well, I made him do 3 pcs of it...otherwise I wouldn't have finished. I'm such a cheater, I love it!
I wonder why the hell I actually take this craft course, when I'm just so not crafty. I remember taking a pottery class in the states with my co-worker and I just couldn't work the kiln and shape at the same time. I just didn't have the upper arm strength required of it. I can't draw for the life of me and just don't have that creative side in me. Now I see artists in a different light.
By nature, I'm an analytical person. Aah to each their own. But, alas, I'm trying my best! I can so see me in a competition just to prove myself wrong! What gusto I have, huh! But all in all, as a first class, I actually enjoyed it and actually liked the fact that we had hands on. I think what I enjoyed the most was the fact that it was so relaxing and I was just so into it. It makes me forget everything and that to me is a good thing.
