A Study in Straight and Curved Lines - Featuring curly willow branches, purple iris and ornamental kale. #ikebana #sogetsu #flowersky #zenarts

Solitary meditative arts—bonsai, raking, arranging—aren’t hobbies.
They’re companions to QiGong + meditation.
Stillness through action.
Silence through form.
Practice doesn't always look like practice.

Curved Lines - A fun lesson in direct opposite of last week’s straight lines. Featuring forsythia branches, Queen Anne’s lace, purple spider mums and daffodils. I can’t wait for the daffodils to open up! #sogetsu #ikebana #flowersky #zenarts #zen

New Year - New Vase
I decided to pick up some flowers to celebrate the new year. It’s always fun to work with a new container. Finding ways to balance and work with the shape, color, and design is a welcome challenge. #ikebana #sogetsu #flowers #nageire #zenarts #newyear

Ikebana class is back in session & I’m so happy! Here’s my arrangement focusing on using two or more containers. This features green Bells of Ireland, maroon Ti leaves, purple baby mums, lemon leaves, and red/yellow tulips. #ikebana #sogetsu #flowersky #flowers #japanesearts #zenarts
