Kawasaki Rose – Day 21. Close enough for me.

This afternoon, I finally got the bottom of the rosebud “good enough”. 

Kawasaki Rose – Day 21. Packed it into a box and gave it away!

Indeed, I declared it good enough to give away. 

Last night I found these words of encouragement on a Japanese site. Alternately you can give up and use tape or glue to close the rose. This was Google’s translation. 

Today I took every rose that I had made apart to the bottom close part and tried to figure out what went wrong. Fortunately, the bottom is the last part of the process. Finally, I started a new rose and it worked.  I wanted to make a rose for a friend who had a fall and broke a hip. And, I was surprised that I got one that was presentable. 

Bounty from this morning’s trip to the Falls Church Market.
