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.

Fruiting Plant Materials
It is hard to find any fruiting materials for us at the beginning of March, especially at Northeast area in U.S. So the teacher allowed us to stick branches into the fruits. The lesson turned out so interesting and we had a great time. In order to secure my big branch, I used Hananome technique, sticking four mandarins in angular shape of branch. The top mandarin was a strongest statement of this arrangement. I added a piece of driftwood, two pom pom mums and pines to complete my assignment. (3-1-11)
