Arrange Ikebana to reflect spring's natural flow
Goal : Spring is a time of renewal and celebration, and nothing shows this spirit better than the variety of blossoms that appear after winter's rest. Imagine an arrangement that captures the feeling of a spring garden in full bloom—a mix of soft, pale pink blossoms, bright yellow flowers, and fresh lime-green leaves. The design, made in a wide, long container, has branches reaching high and arranged in a way that looks naturally scattered, like flowers blooming freely. The crossing branches add depth, making it look like trees blooming all around, showing both gentle beauty and lively energy.
Flowers used : Morris Azalea, Dog wood, Snowball, Willow
Yamatsutsuji (Morris azalea) and Kobushi (Dog wood ) are spring flowers native to Japan and East Asia. They are known as flowers that can be enjoyed after the cherry blossoms have finished blooming. Spring flowers like kobushi and snowball viburnum are known for poor water uptake and tend to wilt quickly. To improve their condition, wrap the stems, leaves, and entire flowers in damp newspaper and place them in deep water overnight. Flower food can also help extend the life of spring flowers.
Steps of creation :
1. Imagine your body as a tree, and try to understand how each branch grows, in what direction, and at what angle. Feel the overall shape and scale of the tree as it grows, which will help you correctly observe and determine the direction of flowers and branches.
2. Choose the main pattern of lines to emphasize harmony.
3.Crossing the stems, maintain the order of the design, creating a complex pattern while giving a simple overall impression.
4.If the branches are only crossed horizontally in an obvious way, the design can become monotonous and flat. To add depth, angle some branches forward and backward, expanding the outline to create a more open and lively impression.
