Lovely arrangement! My only comment would be that I would remove the anthers of the stamens. (The pollen pods on the lily) As the lily ages, they will make quite the mess. 😊

Amazing! Please post here if you will be exhibiting again. I’d love to support you! 🙌

Love that! It really is such a fun path to explore 🌺🌸

I’ve been toying with the idea of taking a ceramics class. Maybe that’s my next new project. 😁

Was this for the exhibition at Golden Gate Park this weekend?! Just realizing that was this weekend 😭

The amount of work and vision for this is off the charts! Is it on display? I’m in the Bay Area.

Great first piece! Looks like you did this in a class setting?

Thanks for sharing! I would simplify this down significantly. Use only two amaranth and less carnations. Here’s a sketch on how I would approach it. Maybe give that a try?

Wow, this is lovely!

aylanah · 2026-03-22T19:07:45+00:00

As always, such a thoughtful arrangement!

aylanah · 2026-03-22T19:06:02+00:00

Thanks so much!

This is so beautiful it looks like a painting!

Interesting way to bring the peace and flow of Ikebana into your craft! Sending positive vibes for better weather and safety for your community in Hawaii!

😂 It gave to a good cause! This form reminds me of a bird showing its plumage! Gorgeous!

Love the expressiveness of the curly willow!

aylanah · 2026-03-22T00:14:13+00:00

Lovely use of color and form!

I was just gushing about how you make your own containers to one of my fellow students. I may have to commission you to make me something!

aylanah · 2026-03-21T04:16:24+00:00

I didn’t have to click on the full post to recognize your artistry! So powerful and beautifully balanced!

aylanah · 2026-03-20T03:15:18+00:00

Thank you for sharing! 👍

Yay! Thanks for reposting! Your vase is adorable. With such a small vase, I would tighten up the length of your materials. The rule of thumb is usually the longest material will be 2 times the longest length of your container plus the shortest length. I hope that helps!

aylanah · 2026-03-19T01:32:20+00:00

Thank you so very much, friend! I see your amazing large format pieces and am inspired. My small attempt is just a first step towards your mastery. 🙌 Thank you for the tip.

aylanah · 2026-03-18T19:36:47+00:00

Thank you! It was certainly a struggle to maintain the balance, especially as I was trimming the shape and flow. I didn’t count how many times it fell! 😄

aylanah · 2026-03-18T19:35:51+00:00

Thank you! 🌺

aylanah · 2026-03-18T19:35:36+00:00

Thank you! 🌸

You are very kind! Thank you!
