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.

Dr.Ching-Hing Liao Memorial Concert
Arranging at the entrance hall way was my assignment by my teacher this time. Ms. Lin described the hall way map and helped me understand the whole pictures. First, I painted the dead walking stick to black, brought pine and azalea branches and big yellow muns at the class. Since I forgot the container, I used stone instead like the bottom picture shows. It was my first attempt to show my idea to teacher. On Friday afternoon at Auditorium of Temple University Ambler, PA, I did this arrangement. Ms.Lin brought me yellow lilies instead of muns, I used black container and more green branches, the result of which, I am happy with. (10-21-2011)
Thanksgiving arrangement
Thanksgiving holiday's arrangement was our subject this class, but Ms. Lin gave me another assignment this time. So my arrangement was arranged at home. Two arrangements at bottom
were our teacher's Demo. (10-16-2011)

Mellon became material with berry branch and green carnations . Isn't it interesting? Sticking
apples to the branches created another kind of arrangement. I like its idea and creativity.
