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!
