I enjoyed making arrangement in this antique wooden pail ( in Japanese it is called "oke"). Usually it looks good with a delicate style arrangement but i wanted to try creating a dynamic design using these pampas grass.
In order to give it a rhythm, i gave a partial "hair cut" in one of them.

> Flax leaves
Flax leaves are very useful for establishing height, width, and dramatic effect on a design. As the leaves are sculptural foliage, you can make them into almost any shapes. Sometimes we use a wire on a back side of the leaves to fortify them and and create shapes.
Here i made them into a variety forms; straight sharp line, big curvy line, unexpected shapes by shredding them and bending them.
It is fun to find out the spontaneous expressions through them.
