Floral Re-Do

When a clients has cats and little children 

Sometimes the things that you don't want them to play with

 is the very things they can't seem to stay away from.

Somewhere there is a toy desperately seeking his bottom half.
I found it as I was tearing down the arrangement.

Anyway this is the reason why this arrangement  that

 I made and sold over a year ago came back to me for a re-do.
For me a re-do implies using the same material and
 just to fix the damage done by the cats and the little child.

The Interior Designer had an additional request.

Not to make it so "plastic-y" and  

to add something that was "butter-scotchy" in color.
My head is saying, "What!"

I don't make the materials. I just assemble them.

I purchase things that have the most realistic look 

and feel when possible.

She knew that when she purchased it a year ago for her client.

I found her request odd to say the least.

And yes I was irritated.

It took me 4 days to even feel like approaching the project. 

Not to mention I was busy with other commitments.

For me it was no longer a re-do but a redesign. 

To now incorporate some "butter-scotchy" looking plants.

Perhaps I'm limited in my thinking
but the original tropical mix didn't call for this addition.

But what the Designer/customer wants the Designer/customer gets.

Here is the new arrangement.
