From Junk to Art
The flower arrangement in front of the church altar was so unique this morning, I couldn’t resist taking a picture.
Notice the creative use of bottles and glass instead of the usual boring flower stands. I definitely prefer this. It lends a very modern touch to the whole scene. I think if I’m ever going to have to choose flower arrangements for any event, this is the overall look I will look for.
Some people have that creative flaire, the way they can take any ordinary object and create a work of art out of it.
Take this Hongkie chef, for instance. He specializes in dessert and I just love the way he decorates his cakes. He likes to work with sugar, and yes, I am a big fan of sugar, but in this case, it’s for what he does with the sugar rather than the amount he puts into his cooking.
What he does is spread colored sugar on a piece of baking paper and puts it into the oven. The sugar will melt and he gets these random shapes like pieces of glass which he breaks up and arrange on his cakes. Sprinkle a little icing sugar on top and you get a masterpiece that just looks too good to eat.
Me, I’ve never been any good at decorating or art, for that matter. That’s why I prefer to pay people to do it for me :p
