10.18.11 Reminiscence of last Autumn

I find myself thinking of autumn, i wonder why...

Every year i wait anxiously for this time of the year, i wait for the leaves in the

trees to change color and then i wait for them to fall.

And then every year i find myself being so impatient about it,

is like i can not wait for the magic to start!

This is one of my favorite shots from last year, it was tho taken in

early november.

5.16.11 Ikebana Sogetsu

Today was our first class of Ikebana Sogetsu at the Smithsonian. I can not explain how exited and happy we both were. Our Sensei is the coolest and most awesome lady ever. She has been studying Ikebana for over 30 years and she has been to Japan several times with the official Ikebana school, or something. Any way, it was awesome, we learn all the basics and the we put it to practice. Here is my very first Ikebana arrangement. We got to take it home with all the other flowers and branches we didn't use. I'm so happy and exited i can not wait for next monday!

5.3.11 Full of surprises...

Just never know what's gonna be next...

4.17.11 They move like a dancing dream

Mobile land!! so, made a mobile using a couple of strong magnolia tree sticks, used invisible tread (truly invisible..) and finally pulled out some of

the thousand leaves i collected last autumn.

Also used some money tree thingys (don't really know

how to call them)

and this is the outcome. After making a mobile for my

Isabella i had this idea going around my head.

The pictures are awful, and i'm sorry. i had a really hard time

taking them. but i promise, it looks better in person.
