What was your inspiration?

I signed up at a local craft store to take a class on painting a "Poinsettia Tray". The lesson plan required that the tray be painted black in advance . I showed up on the appointed day and time (with my black tray) to find out that the class had been cancelled. I was determined enough to find teaching guides to learn to paint the poinsettia.

What are you most proud of?

I don't give up easily when I have an interest in something. I continue to pursue it until I learn. I love learning new crafts and etc.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
