Flower Arrangement

"Western Style" Flower Arrangement-2nd week work

Japanese "Ikebana"-2nd week work

Japanese "Ikebana"-1st week work
I started my "flower arrangement" class 2 weeks ago. Thanks for my mother-in-law's instruction. She has been in this area for over 20 years and won many prizes. I am very glad to be her student:>

My mother-in-law is specialized in Japanese "Ikebana". More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are combined together. It is also the employment of minimalism. I would say it is far more difficult than Western-style flower arrangement. It requires certain fundamental techniques before proceeding some creation. I am kind of in love with Ikebana and hope to achieve some level soon!!
