Thanksgiving table centerpiece

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)

Autumn composition

Pampas Grass and golden leaves were found at my community park. Bright red carnation instead of burning bush make beautiful Autumn scene. The bottom was taken from corner's stair way of my teacher's house,which show interesting branch without any leaves. Yes, it is Autumn. (11-8-2011)

Stage design

Decorated by Ms. Lin and her students, it was a good experience to participate decorating the stage, especially for loving memory of our dear friend Dr. Liao.( we call him uncle Liao) (10-21-2011)

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.

Demonstration by Ms. Lin

Betty,Lynn and I, took class from Ms. Lin for over three years. Because Irina Hurricane swept over East coast of US a lot of places had no electricity, no water and even water in the basement. Ms. Lin's basement was one of them. It was frustrating to deal with insurance co. and handyman.
But she came for flower arrangement demo. for us. We owe her so many thanks. (9-10-2011)

Fall Harvest Exhibit

Grace Church Fall Harvest Exhibit held on Setember 10, 2011. Church menbers also prepared a lot of Taiwanese cookings for sale. Everybody enjoyed and had fun.

Hanging style of arrangement

A hanging basket is beautiful but it had technique problem to hang right. Usually, there is one hanging style of arrangement in each exhibit. So this was our assignment for practice this time.(8-16-2011)
