It was fun to be part of Chichester Flower Festival 2014. I made a sword spending many hours and my eyes were beginning to be sword shaped! My NAFAS classmates and I were asked to make flower arrangements under "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner. His opera has characters such as a knight, swan and a bride so I challenged myself to make a sword for the scene. I just managed to finish before I went off to Buxton.
