Ikebana, Japanese flower arranging, has many
styles: upright, slanting, and cascading.
These low, spreading Ikebana arrangements are in the
Moribana style.
I purchased the
supplies/accessories to create Moribana style Ikebana, but I never came close to creating a true ikebana arrangement.
This type of flower arranging is probably not something I could successfully achieve either. It seems more constructed than arranged--very striking and pretty, though.
ReplyDeleteInteresting arrangements. I don't know that I could do it, but they are lovely in their simplicity.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! Thanks for sharing.

I think these are fasinating....
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to try to do Ikebana. I think she was somewhat successful -- I don't really remember. Sigh. These bring back memories even if they are spotty!
ReplyDeleteVery unusual and creative designs :)
ReplyDeleteLove the 3rd one. Swinging by all Bridge members today, reminding everyone, the contest is in full swing. Hope to see you soon, and often.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! I have a booklet on Japanese flower arrangement. I used to have a garden, so I could pick the flowers then. No garden anymore, now. Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteThese are very interesting. I've seen some before but never knew they had a name.
