ikebana update

I did the following two arrangements on the same day. The first one is moribana, and the second one is freestyle... I forget what it's called in Japanese.


The next one has cherry blossom branches on the outer part of the arrangement. I had the most trouble with this one, and in the end I wasn't really happy with it.
But after taking it home and looking at it for a few days, I started to like it more. Then when the flowers started blooming it was really pretty to look at!

This last one I did this week. It took a long time to think of what to do with the flowers and how to cut them, but in the end I was happy with it. I think this was my favorite so far.
I wish you could see them in person though... it's hard to capture the 3D-ness in a picture.

i think they look great...and to the untrained eye they look quite similar. you know, flowers pointing outward...but how often do you go to those classes and make the arrangements?
