So that you can arrange a beautiful arrangement on day 1
Photo by Author Akemi Sagawa
Today I conducted a private Ikebana workshop for a group of twelve women.
Nobody has ever done Ikebana before. For beginners like them, I normally give them one challenge for making an arrangement: Use only one kind of branch, and only one kind and color of flowers.
Today I provided two kinds of greens, and four different colors of the same flower, alstroemeria: red, pink, yellow, and purple.
The basic structure is the same. However, depending upon which branch and which color of flowers to use, quite a variety of arrangements are created.
As you can see in the photos below, Ikebana is an art form, giving a new life to flowers with your own creativity and expression. Just like no two persons are the same, no two Ikebana works are the same. Enjoy the photos!
