生花

Today I started an Ikebana class, Ikebana is the art of Japanese flower arrangement. You need three tools, the vase, scissors, and a spiky plate which you insert into the vase to stick the flowers and foliage onto. The teacher is a lady who is also a teacher at one of my junior high schools. Under her guidance, I made the following arrangement. She explained to me how you determine the length of the longest piece by measuring it against the pot you are using, and how to determine the length of the rest in comparison to the first piece. So from now, I will have a bright new arrangement every month to decorate my room!

I'll post another pic when the lilies bloom! (*.*)/
