NEW Floral Memories Unearthed: A Journey through Clay and Blooms - As a little girl, amidst the gentle embrace of a lawn adorned with daisies, I learnt the art of daisy-making under the guidance of my encouraging mum. Creativity was not just fostered; it was a cherished value that allowed us to pursue our passions, drawing inspiration seamlessly from the beauty of nature. Those initial lessons in crafting daisies weren't mere childhood pastimes—they were the roots of a lifelong love affair with art and the limitless wonders of the natural world.
