Basket arrangement

This arrangement was inspired by the Ikebana International's baskets demonstrating arrangement program.
I made this basket using green midollino sticks last year. This was my second time using it. Materials are white Lily, Spirea and Pine.(done by 5/7/2014)

"For centuries baskets have been used in ikebana, particularly for informal and warm weather arrangements. Baskets are containers, they may be works of art, but they can also become an integral part of ikebana design." (From Ikebana International Program booklet)
The three pictures below were done by I.I. members' demo. pieces, they are from different schools.
