A single dahlia propped on an ikebana flower vase. A great way for Rikke to show off some stray blooms she got from the farmer’s market… gifted to her after they had broken off from the stems!

A single dahlia flower in a simple ikebana vase… stamped & soda-fired. A striking floral statement on any table.

Sometimes a single flower can be enough.
Big impact from a homegrown dahlia in a handmade ikebana vase.

Simple floral arrangements… ikebana vases turn a few stems into a statement.
Handmade ceramic discs perfectly frame your flowers!

Just doing a little stamping in the studio on another gray Saturday. Working on a new batch of ikebana flower vases… thrown, stamped & ready to trim! Just getting ready for Spring flowers ‘cuz I’m already done with this Winter grayness!

Sad, but true... I think this is the final dahlia of the season! I saw it blooming yesterday out in my garden. But when I saw a few little snowflakes this evening, I thought I would bring it inside to enjoy it a little longer. Perfect as a single bloom in one of my stamped & soda-fired ikebana vases!

Cute little flower arrangement in one of my ikebana vases. Beautiful colors & textures celebrating the least of the Fall flowers. Thanks for showing off your garden & floral arranging skills Kristy!

Katherine came to ART IN THE BARN this past weekend and purchased an ikebana vase in my booth. Then she was “inspired” to make her first ikebana flower arrangement using flowers from her own backyard garden. So beautiful… now I kinda want to see her whole garden?! Nicely done Katherine!!!

A single blossom in an ikebana vase. Always easy… always striking! A small pin frog inside to hold the stem, a bit of water… and voila’ you’ve got a beautiful centerpiece. Sure, you can also insert several flower stems… but no need for the full over-the-top lavish bouquet to make a floral statement. Plenty of ikebana vases coming to ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend!!!

Looks like a beautiful breakfast in the making in Stevens Point. Flowers from the garden, a beautiful fruit salad and plenty of pottery to serve in style! Remember, homemade food always tastes better in handmade pottery!
