Thank you so much, Junko. Very informative. By the way, has anybody ever told you that your name sounds the same as a cute little bird, the junco? Note to Keith the videographer: I personally would like for the video to have been less heavily edited, and to have shown more of the process.

[@ikebanabyjunko]

Thank you. I have never heard of the bird, but thank you for the compliment. As for editing, I have to say, Keith would prefer no to edit at all! But he does very well at keeping the main elements, while also making the edited version short enough to keep our audience. Perhaps you can come to one of my demonstrations one day.

@@ikebanabyjunko I would come to a demonstration tomorrow . . . except that I'm in Canada and you're the other side of the Atlantic Ocean ; _ ;

I am in Japan currently, so different ocean, but I get the problem. I (well, Keith, will post some more demonstrations soon....;-))
