I believe this is #moribana around Christmas time, maybe 2 years ago. #ikenobo #ikebana #throwbackthrusday

Moribana with irises and yellow roses.
I haven’t done ikebana much since my mum died, but today I felt like trying again. It’s probably not quite right, but it brought me some calm — and maybe that’s a sign of healing.

Ikebana with forsythia, kale, and cat palm in a compote suiban.

This week's ikebana. #ikebana #wafuikebana #flowerarrangement #moribana

Ikebana flower arrangement in a harvest theme of golden yellow and orange flowers, millet, grasses, and small berries in a round ceramic container.

My last ikebana of the semester is a Ka-bu-wa-ke arrangement. I am focusing on create space with artistic tension between separate groups while respecting the water in the container. #sogetsu #sogetsuikebana #ikebana #kabuwake #moribana #respectthetension

I used to live in a house where I grew roses, mostly multi colors, and competed those at #roseshows. I ribboned quite a few. I developed a knack for #design, particularly in #ikebana and #moribana. These are 3 of my entries from latest #portlandrosesociety show at #washingtonsquaremall. #roses
