I had the opportunity alongside two other Ferris students to not only attend, but volunteer at the Michigan Floral Association Expo and competition.  This was a neat opportunity to learn how to create beautiful but branded bouquets, use floral as a medium, and learn how to put your own unique mark on the everyday bouquets you see.  We worked with Garrett (shown in video) as he and Matt both taught Keri and I how to make this piece with the acrylics!  We had never worked with such material before but it is a new skill I now have.  The piece itself took 7 hours to create as far as the heating and pinching is concerned but we collected 23 community service hours over the weekend!
