When the organizer mentioned The Phantom of the Opera, I was thrilled! this was the very first novel I ever finished back in Grade 7.
I wonโt lie, I wasnโt fully confident with the design I drafted since it had been a while since I last did hand-piped flowers, and I felt a bit rusty.
Still, I leaned into the Phantomโs world instead of the mask. The opera house, pillars, candle holders, and red roses. To honor Sofia stepping into womanhood, soft n**e pink tones were used. Feminine, gentle, yet strong.
