Some of the flowers still have to bloom, excited to see this piece evolve over the next week :)
Gathered some weeds around my house, some alive and some withered. I tried to make it look like each flower stems from the same point
Wondering if I should remove the smaller green stem in the back?
This would bring the total amount of stems back to 4, being an unlucky number in Japan due to its similar pronunciation as the word ‘death’.
Which is in theme with the use of the withered flowers. Just not sure if it’s ‘appropriate’ for an in house Ikebana arrangement?
Just started practicing Ikebana, if any of you have book recommendations please let me know!! :)
