After 32 years I retired from Jones New York Company as pattern maker. Working at the garden and seeing beautiful flowers is the best way to lessen my frustrations. Since 2008 I joined Sogetsu School Ikebana class under Ms.Meei-Huey Lin,well known Ikebana Instructor in this area. I would like to share with you some of my Ikebana arrangements done at the classes. Welcome for your kind criticism.

Variation No.3 Upright Style Moribana
Variation No.3 Upright Style Moribana means Soe is shifted to the front-right with 45 degree and Hikae is in the center keeping 75 degree inclination. The sunny yellow Double-flowered Daffodil(Narcissus 'Fortune') blossom in my garden.It is so pretty in spring, and Lilac just begin to spot new leaves. I combined those two spring materials to arrange my assignment. I like it very much because it shows the new life. (4-06-2010)
Free Style
Cherry blossoms in Yardley, Pa. Spring is the most beautiful season for flowers. I was surprised after two weeks vacation, climate has been changed. The container was made of PVC pipes which I made in early this year class (January 19). Be aware of the heavy materials on top. Some technique should be applied.(4-06-2010)
