I had the opportunity to work four days at the shop greening Christmas centerpieces with cedar, noble fir, and pine. It took me about 20-30 minutes for each one. I did 16 on the first day I worked. After my first day, whenever I closed my eyes, all I could see was noble fir and cedar. It was difficult to simply forget about the work, as I am a bit of a perfectionist and kept wondering whether my arrangements were done well enough. Every artist experiences this to some extent, I think.
I'm very glad that I got to work extra days in the shop. I am excited about more opportunities like this, as my manager has already asked if I could do greening for Valentine's Day as well.
