This is New Year arrangement for dinner table. Ms. Lin wanted us to use as less table as possible this time, so high up style was suitable for this occasion.
It is typical Japanese new year material to use pine,chrysanthemum,red Berry, red carnation etc. with decorative Mizuhiki (paper strings).(12-20-11)

It is still so fresh with red roses and white flowers. I used silver color spray to create Christmas arrangement. I arranged three different styles to finish all material .

Variation No8. Combined style Moribana & Moribana

Ms. Lin wanted us to look at the diagrams carefully and arrange it for this combined style again for today's class.
In this style each main stems must be placed at the exact angles prescribed in their Kakei. Total harmony is very important for combining the arrangement, although both of which are also well made with originality and their independent existence. (12-06-2011)
