Only One Kind of Branch

Finally we resumed our twice a month class again. We have not had class for more than three months. I am so happy to attend the class today. We have two assignments: 1) Only one kind of Branch. 2) Back to the basics, Upright Style Moribana. (6/4/2013)

 A classmate provided us with a few big Kousa dogwood
branches for us to use. I cut a big branch into
two pieces and stripped a lot of  flowers and leaves until
 it reached my ideal form. I chose a thick ceramic vase
 for my arrangement. (6/4/2013)
