When the dahlia is almost bigger than the ikebana vase! Looks like someone needs to start making larger ikebanas?… or someone needs smaller flowers?! Thanks for sharing Rikke!

A simple single flower can make a centerpiece statement with the right ikebana vase… pin frog included inside to support your flower stems. I’ll have a good assortment of them this weekend at the Schaumburg Prairie Arts Festival while there are plenty of Spring flowers waiting to grace your table!

Been a little “busy”… but finally got around to stamping some textures
into the discs that will eventually become ikebana vases for my summer art fairs!

More than ten discs thrown before 10:00am!
Working towards another batch of ikebana vases for my upcoming art fairs!

A simple statement. A single dahlia. The simplest arrangement with just one bloom in a handmade ikebana vase. Stamped & soda-fired… and coming to ART IN THE GARDEN next weekend!

And yes, I grew it in my yard!!!

A single rose in a stamped & soda-fired ikebana vase to brighten your Friday…
it doesn’t take a lot to share a smile!

My latest production round was a group of “rounds”… the top part of ikebana vases coming together. Stepping it up so that I’m ready when the Spring flowers start popping up… just some positive thinking… or, wishful thinking!!!

So I have a friend in my booth today at ART IN THE GARDEN.
Just a little “good luck spider” hanging out on my ikebana display flowers!

Another beautiful floral arrangement for another Floral Friday! A few simple stems displayed in an square stamped ikebana vase. Thanks for sharing Kristy!
