yellow arrangement

> composition #2

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...

alstromeria
purple lisianthus
dried asparagus leave (?)
dried burning bush branch

> composition #1

i have so many dry materials at home it's not even funny...
taking so much space in the basement.
i will create arrangements using my nice collection of dry stuff little by little and HOPEFULLY throw some stuff away~ if i can't come up with any use of it....

beautiful amaryllis
daffodil
kiwi vine

> love carnations

people tend to dislike carnations but i love them!
So many different kinds are available in the flower market.

> trachelium

It's hard to see in this picture but the way the purple trachelium seen through the dried green grass thing was kind of sexy.

i could probably achieve different kind of expressions by playing with the angles and the density of the grass.


Alstromeria was standing out too much when I arranged them up in front or side or tall.
I hid them so that i could still see the little touch of its color.
i love the combination of these purples.
