> scotch broom

This was the last arrangement i've done in class before having Layla.
i miss my ikebana class....（＞＜）
Scotch broom is easy to bend but hard to create a visually effective shape.
it requires a lot of trimming, bending and your patience.

> dried beauty

what do you think these are?
they are dried tulips...
love the drama captured through the natural deterioration.

これは何の花だと思いますか？
ドライになったチューリップです。
自然が作り出すドラマに感動しちゃいます。
なかなか捨てれないのです（＞＜）

> layla is born!

My first daughter Layla was born on March 18. 3 weeks earlier than the due date.
Since then i really don't have time for anything else... but being her mother is a delightful experience so far. i am enjoying every minute of it!

Here is the arrangement i did for Layla's baby shower thank you card.
Many of my flower friends, family and other friends wished me a good luck and gave us so many wonderful gifts for her.

Thank you so much everybody!
