Autumn Harvest Exhibition - Ikebana

Grace Taiwanese Presbyterian Church Annual Fall Harvest Exhibition was held from 8/31 to 9/1/2013. Again, some of our classmates presented four or five pieces of Ikebana arrangements.  That's enough to form a mini exhibition!  Besides these Ikebana, there were church members' home grown vegetables, home made sweets and other products for sale to raise money (fund raising for church). I am so grateful to my friends, Chih and Doris, who offered me this opportunity to participate and show my flower arrangements.
I created a couple of new arrangements and adopted some of my old ideas to make fresh looks. Below are my five Ikebana for the exhibition.
