I used oriental kabocha to replace pumpkin, and golden persimmon to match fall color of mums and pomegranate with bitter sweet just perfect for my Thanksgiving dinner centerpiece. At the middle was teacher's centerpiece and at the bottom one was arranged a night before the class. (11-08-2100)
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.
