| A single stem of gloriosa lily. |
Hello all,
The mahonia branch, below, is the way it looked when I cut it from the tree -
.... It took some judicial trimming to reveal the beauty of the stem. I then added two agapanthus flowers in a spherical tsubo vase. This arrangement is an example of the theme 'Lines at the Base'.
For our recent class I set a double theme to the advanced students - 'Variation no. 6 Horizontal' style and 'With Leaves Only'. In my arrangement, below, I used New Zealand flax, hostas, calla lily leaves and cordyline leaves. The container is an asymmetrical, lacquered suiban
Lucy also used a lacquered suiban in which she placed a strelitzia leaf, aspidistra leaves, fatsia leaves and cathedral begonia leaves.
Nicole used New Zealand flax, cordylines, bromeliad leaves, calla lily leaves and geranium leaves in a ceramic suiban.
Lei's curriculum theme was 'Miniature Arrangements'. She created a delightful group of tiny arrangements.
Wendy's curriculum theme was 'Dried, Bleached of Coloured Material'. She used bleached, tortuous willow (Salix Matsudana Tortuous) and gladiola flowers and leaves in a ceramic container.
Shaneen's lesson was 'Preparing for a Future Exhibition'. She used a dried branch sprayed copper, hydrangeas and papyrus in a tall, ceramic vase.
Dianne's lesson was 'Lines at the Base'. She used three stunning garlic flowers and nandina domestica in a spherical tsubo vase.
Bye for now,
Emily
