Yes exactly I completely agree.

Thanks again for another interesting interpretation of the final design, I wouldn't worry not much about exactly copying my design just using the flowers to their best advantage. This one was a tricky design to do and I love your base, you've really thought outside the box with this one and its brilliant and I'm guessing quite versatile. I think you have worked the shape of this design out perfectly, great proportions and good scale, the design is obviously well balanced as its not falling over. The extended length of the arrangement works well with the gerbera but I think you've lost the modern style in the middle by using flowers that at similar in shape and size, even thought the colour is contrasting, the chrysanthemums are giving a rounded effect which is a little underwhelming. More Gerbera in the focal area would have been beneficial, but I appreciate my design had a change of flowers from the original post. The tall section also works well and exaggerating the negative space in between the flowers would have given it more of a modern look. Again you've done exceptionally well, maybe consider redoing this one with a simpler colour combination that would blend with the base more.. This would look fantastic with creams, browns and gold for Christmas too. Thanks for sharing all your images, I'm hoping you really enjoyed these lessons too.

Another fabulous design that works really well with the base, I wouldn't worry about not having driftwood as flower arranging is all about adapting to the materials you already have and you've done a great job here. The circle of the framework works really well to give rhythm and repetition as it copies the shape of the Sunflowers but I think the circle wreath is too small for the amount of flowers you've used, so the scale is slightly out, its almost top heavy, which is a shame as its a great design, very clever and innovative. Next time consider using less placements of flowers, so the design proportions work better. This could also be achieved by using a longer base or a bigger circle, but overall its fantastic and you should be very proud of your achievements.
