Sandy, Stella, Ruby and I were invited by our Japanese friends to have a dinner together. What a great pleasure and honor!
Sandy is our translator. She has helped us to communicate and getting the details of class that Mr. Nobuo Sugino will teach down. I can't wait for the conference! I will write up what we have talked and let Mr. Sugino to see first before I post on the guild's website.
It is so much fun to exchange with all the flower lovers. Some Japanese pressed flower artist's business cards use real pressed flowers. It is too bad that I have been so busy with my work that I have only made some bookmarks for them last night. Many brought gifts to us. It is so interesting to see botanical materials used so many different ways. They also gave us some books. Oh Mine! All I had were some flowers pressed in 2008 in return. Oh well, this is all I can manage with the little time I have right now.
Although we have some language difficulties but we have no problem when communicating about flowers. It is so exciting meeting so many sharing the same passion from another country. Well, hope I will be able to go to Japan and spend some time seeing more.
