Hello all,
The class theme for the advanced students last week was 'A Pond Arrangement'. I used a number of materials in my arrangement, above, starting with the drift wood, nandina domestica leaves and flower head, Japanese anemones, umbrella grass (Cyperus alternifolius), amaranthus, iris japonica leaves and squiggly grass simulating ripples in the water around the stones.
Nicole also started with drift wood in an oval suiban. She used dietes leaves, a nerine, narcissus, nandina domestica, iris japonica leaves and fish bone fern (nephrolepis).
Vicky used silver birch branches, nandina domestica, gladiolas and chrysanthemums in an asymmetrical, lacquered suiban.
Cym used branches of a tree the name of which is not known to me, amaranthus, Japanese anemones, and alstroemeria psittacina leaves in an irregular shaped suiban.
Bredenia used a large, metal suiban, into which she placed a piece of drift wood, Japanese anemones, nandina domestica nana with silver birch branches and amaranthus cascading over the top.
Lucy used her favourite material - viburnum opulus branches, umbrella grass, Japanese anemones and alstroemeria psittacina leaves. Not very visible in the photo is a viburnum leaf floating on the surface of the water.
Mary used a piece of weeping willow over an arrangement of fresiers, bromeliad leaves, cathedral begonia leaves and drift wood.
Dianne's curriculum theme was 'With Leaves Only'. She used brown flax, canna lily leaves and peony leaves, all in their autumnal colouring, in an art deco, porcelain container.
I leave you with this arrangement made by reusing materials from another project. The gypsophila had been cut short for their previous use, so this is what I came up with.
Bye for now,
Emily
