This illustration was especially fun as I spent many hours as a pre-teen making friendship bracelets and working on the cache-building skill of macramé. If only I had had this handy diagram back then, I could have planned my color ways more diligently.

Color in a friendship bracelet for your friend. Inquire about his or her favorite colors before you begin.

I don’t own flowers or plants because they die in my presence, despite watering them as per their instructions. So this is probably the only type of flower shop I will ever be involved with.

At your own personal flower shop, what flowers would you offer? Draw, color, and compare.
