...so here's some of my Floristry. Yes, Floristry. I've started a course to become a professional headbanging Florist and here's three of my designs. I only started a month ago so bear with me.

I'm afraid the picture quality is that of a not brilliant camera phone:

Yeah! Nothing says metal like the nosegay on a coffin.

Btw, that doesn't look amateur to me.

Flowers are pretty heavy metal if you ask me. I will now be thinking all day of a reason to justify such a statement, but I am sure there is one.

Anyway, these look beautiful. Tell me, how does one learn to be a florist?

Thank you, well I started my course on the 12th of September having never arranged flowers before in my life.

Well my course entails conditioning of flowers to promote longer vase life, I also have to learn all cut flowers and foliages by Latin name and Genus. The actual construction of arrangements is shown through demonstration then emulation and then a lot of practice. thank you for all your positive comments. :D

What about just 'trying to play guitar'? Is that okay?

Very cool arrangements. I dig 'em. (See, how cool is this forum? :P )

You should, we're all awesome. (Except Eyesore, he's the Cooolest, Daddy-O!)

Oh, and your "amateur" Floristry is much more metal than you give it credit for.

Hell, if they can call Winger "metal".....

(Don't say anything; I like Winger, but they AIN'T metal)
