> Hydrangea's season! 2


I bought beautiful bordeaux color gerbera from wholefoods.
We are going to eat dinner outside today!
Heat is not so bad.

I wish hydrangea lasts little bit longer.

> Hydrangea's season!

those flowers are all from our garden!

This year my husband created a beautiful flower garden at home and I am enjoining to make arrangements using those flowers.

> Amelia's b-day arrangement 2012

去年に引き続き、アメリアちゃんのお誕生会を彩るお花をアレンジしました〜。
今年はクリーム、黄色、グリーン、ライトパープルの淡い色合いです。

I was asked to make arrangements for Amelia's b-day party. 
This year's color theme is cream, yellow, green, light purple.
horizontal arrangement on a fire mantle
柳の線がバックの壁の色に隠れてしまって目立たなかった事と、チューリップはやはり太陽の光で動いてしまう為イメージとずれが出てしまう事が反省点です。。。
でもアメリアちゃんのママは喜んでくれました!

Sad to see the curly willow's graceful lines weren't popping out against the dark back ground color. Tulips are hard to use because they move toward the sun shine and change the shape of the original  arrangement. But Amelia's mom loved it that's all I care!
i love this color combination.
届きたてのお花はフレッシュで良い香りがして気持ちが癒されます〜。
普段はお家のベースメントで作業します。自然光が入らないので悲しいですが。。。
この後子供が寝てから深夜過ぎまで作業です。

I love the moments when I treat just arrived flowers.
They smell so good melt my heart and sole.
I usually work in my basement.
I worked until past midnight after my kids were asleep.

> Happy New Year 2012!

spray roses, myrtle,
eucalyptus leaves, gold painted dried straw

明けまして、おめでとうございます。今年も皆さんにとって良い年になります様に。そして、東日本大震災で被災された方々が立ち直られ、町が一日も早く復興しますようにお祈りしています。

相変わらずお花を生ける時間はありませんが(涙)、スーパーで手に入る花で生けてみました。
ああ、NYの花マーケットが懐かしい!あそこでいろんな季節の枝ものや、花達を買って来て生けたいものです。

左と右を対照的にでも全体的にバランスよくなるよう仕上げました。
右のラインは写真ではちょっと見難いですが、勢い良く動いていて見ていて元気が出る感じにしました。

> heaven's gate

this reddish branch is called "heaven's gate."
i wonder when we go to a heaven, we see them growing at the gate?
that would be spectacular!

it changes its color from light green to beautiful bright red.
their stem is light weighted but very stiff.
it's not bendable at all so we have to use it the way it naturally is.

dahlia is also gorgeous.
they unexpectedly lasted 4-5 days.

この赤っぽい木は英語で「天国の門」という名がついています。
天国の入り口へ行くとこの木がたくさん生えているのかな?
だとしたらとても綺麗な景観だろうなと思います!

この木は若いグリーン色から徐々に美しい赤に変わっていきます。
枝は軽いですが、とても固いです。
まったく曲がらないので、自然のままの形を利用して生けるしかないです。

ダリアもとても綺麗です。
予想外にも4−5日持ちました。

burning bush is a beautiful autumn shrub that change their color from green to burning red.
i love them because they are easy to work with. They are bendable and light weighted.
when all the leaves fall, it reveals the interesting stem lines...
