@linda2 I didn't have a big switch or anything. The markers and stuff were fun but they slowed me down. Now with plain pages, I just get to work without overthinking it, lmao.

Funny how the breath controls timing too, not just power. A boxer times their punch with a sharp exhale, same as a golfer with a putter. It locks your whole body into a rhythm so you don't rush. Ever notice how a baseball player has that little exhale right before the bat connects? Guess it's the same deal for swinging a hammer.

Did you use a spray dye or dip the stems in colored water? I used to be totally against dyeing flowers, thought it always looked cheap and tacky. But seeing how vibrant yours turned out, it actually makes me rethink that for special requests. What was the client's reaction when they saw the final product?
