My Beloved Old Japanese Pitcher

Kiwi Branches, Dogwood and Phalaenopsis Orchid

I always adored his old Japanese pitcher of my mother. I love its curvy form, its shiny chocolate glaze and its generous handle. I couldn't use it daily fearing of breaking it, but for ikebana everything is allowed :)

What I find most interesting in this arrangement is the upside dogwood branch on the right. Think about 'Line' in ikebana.

Noel Kutlamaları Zamanı

Sogetsu Ikebana floral arrangements for Christmas 

Noel zamanı yaklaşıyor. Bu haftanın teması da Noel kutlamalarını şenlendirecek, gösterişli bir ikebana düzenlemesi yapmak. Herdem yeşil dallar, kırmızının farklı tonları, krizantem ve beyaz orkidenin gösterişli güzelliği fena olmadı bence.
