Ikebana and Paper - Free Expression

This is a close up snap shot of a sunflower head  I took last month. Half of
its seeds have been eaten. I thought it's interesting and pretty. I used this
 picture as inspiration for today's Ikebana assignment.(8/14/2012)

Material:  Sunflower,Cornflower seed head, Hosta and
Forsythia branch

This is my teacher's demo arrangement and  it's another
way to arrange it.

This was my paper wrapping design in 2/2012. It also suited
today's title.
