Tracy's posterous

Earlier this month I participated in a winter floral workshop put on
by Svenja Brotz of Chestnut & Vine --
http://www.chestnutandvine.com/events.html. It was really wonderful
and would recommend anyone, even if you don't have any formal
training, to try it out! Svenja provided so many different materials
and design ideas that it was quite inspiring. I even got to use a
power hand drill for the first time. It was quite addicting... The
allotted 3 hours was no where enough time to do everything we wanted
to do. Everyone at the workshop ended up taking everything home to
continue working on their designs. Here are some of my final design
pieces.

For the show, I created a moribana arrangement in a basket. The floral
materials used were: miscanthus, purple anthurium, ming fern, wax
flower, and camellia leaves. Some members have noticed that the more
years you participate in the show, the larger your arrangement gets.
For comparison, the 4th photo is an arrangement by the founder of the
California Chapter...
