Oldie But Goody

Rocked this one awhile ago, but it is one of my all-time faves. Moribana in the Upright Style Variation #3, in which the main floral element(Hikae) and it accompaniments are shifted to center.  Increased the angles on the main branches slightly to show off the  beautiful natural curves of the cherry branches.

Banksia & Pussywillow Moribana

I love the color of the Banksia flowers.  The leaves look like wings to me.

Calla & Chrysanthemum Party

 This is a slightly modified version of the arrangement I made for Michael Morris's 40th Birthday.  Happy Birthday!  This is a Moribana freestyle arrangement, using the Sogetsu-style basket I made out of cane.
