Michigan Floral Association's Great Lakes Floral Expo 2010 was held this past weekend in Grand Rapids, MI. I was privileged to attend, take workshops with designers Kevin Ylvisaker, AIFD, PFCI, and Howard Silver, AIFD - both amazing designers, and take part in MFA's Student Design Competition. The competition challenge was titled "Around the World in 80 Daisies", for which designers had to represent a country of their choosing in the design. I designed for what I thought represented Greenland. The Inuit of Greenland, over 80% of the country's population, believe the Northern Lights are their ancestors dancing in the second life. I was honored to place 1st in the Student Competition! Big thank you to my instructor, Donna Theimer, AIFD, and the kind folks who make up the Michigan Floral Association.
