Ikebana with their own hands from natural materials - interesting master classes, photo ideas and tips

Ikebana is a source of inspiration

The Japanese compose such compositions based on philosophy:

• Shin - represents the sky, it is the highest level;
• soe - the image of a person, the middle height;
• hikae - symbol of the earth, positioned low parallel to the bottom.

The main condition is to install the central elements in a triangle configuration, giving them asymmetrical inclinations, and the subsequent filling of the empty space. Existing style trends:

1. Rikka is characterized by the vertical arrangement of plants; the style was characteristic of ritualistic Buddhist rituals.
2. Moribana has a resemblance to landscapes of nature in miniature. The greenery in a wide container is accentuated.
3. Nageire is full of philosophical meaning, highlighting the natural components, more often a single object.
4. Dziyuka is a European offshoot, combining any materials.

To create a masterpiece is not necessary to strictly follow the Japanese dogmas, enough creative vision and great desire.

Basic principles

The most important role is played by the vessel itself, which should be combined with the contents in shape and color (preferably monochrome). Also use wooden, earthenware containers, wicker baskets. With a large number of components, make sure it is stable.

Low sides of the vase suggest using kenzan - a special surface made of metal with needles. Large boughs, heavy components - for ceramic vases. The lightness of porcelain or glass is emphasized by delicate flowers. Parts are attached in plasticine, a bag of expanded clay, porous sponge.

Modern versions use fruits, berries, leaves, grasses and shrubs in the form of reeds, cereals, wormwood, juniper. The combination of artificial and natural materials is only welcome. The classic canon requires consistency with the season.

Live plants.

Zinnia, calendula in a coma of soil are put in a container of the original appearance and framed with sea pebbles. Orange chrysanthemums on short stems have the best place in a small pumpkin as a bright, sunny accent in the apartment.

A wicker basket would be perfect for a summer sketch. It will accentuate the elegance of white flowers embedded in a floral sponge on the bottom or a liquid vessel. The only disadvantage is the rapid fading, so do not forget to take a photo of your work as a keepsake.

The floral arrangement is supplemented with:

• dried and paper buds;
• stones;
• twigs, wood;
• seeds;
• plastic, metal accessories.

Deciduous and coniferous branches should not be used together.

Use the gifts of nature

Taking the gourd, slightly trim the bottom, giving it stability. From the hole made at the top, remove the excess soft innards. Glue autumn leaves and cones with a heat gun to the bough with beautiful branching. Insert the workpiece into the base, fix it. Decorate all joints with rowanberries. We decorate the tray with leaves and chestnuts.

For lovers of minimalism, the simplest ekibana includes only one leaf and a fruit, which are put on two wires and inserted into any base in a curved form.

Meet the New Year

Expressive strokes will liven up your dwelling, adding a wonderful fragrance as well. Take a box made of wood, laying it with the paws of spruce, pine. Fill the voids evenly with oranges, lemons, tied with string or fixed on sticks. They can be made unusual by decorating with raisins, grapes on toothpicks. Citrus fruits are decorated with carved patterns and tied bows.

The zest is important - it makes magnificent roses on a background of pine needles. If you lay out on a plate coffee beans, placing such roses on them, the room will be filled with fragrance. Use molds to cut out hearts, herringbones, and stars from the peels. By passing a rope through the hole, they are suspended from the ikebana.

An important object is a candle surrounded by pine needles, white carnations, cones, and light twigs. Any color palette is possible.

Tangerine tree

Tangerines are wrapped with volumetric threads that differ in shade from them. Place the selected trunk or root in a container. Tie the symbols of the New Year to it with threads. Green ribbons, folded in bows, pierced with pins, strengthen in the gaps. At the base, decorate with a fir tree.

New Year's ideas

Master class on creating an elegant model. We will need:

1. An elongated transparent vase.
2. Orange peels.
3. Pine needles.
4. Golden ribbons.
5. Glass balls.

The composition will look charming if you put a toy from the Christmas tree, a pine branch inside. The cedar is dried, wrapping the golden balls with it. Attributes are distributed on a glass tray, standing on top of the vase, from its edges in waves descend ribbons. At the bottom are placed the remaining elements and the original candlestick.

Wreath

From a strong twine in several layers or braided into plaits, a circle of any diameter is made. Pinecones, pine needles, Christmas decorations are attached to it. The latter can easily be replaced by clusters of cranberry, sea buckthorn and physalis. On top you can apply silver or any other paint.

Spring notes

In anticipation of spring, when everything around comes alive, you can't do without the traditional sakura. In the pot we insert a wire, painting it in a greenish tone. Paper pink flowers are attached to the "stem", bent at the right angle.

To make the next specimen, you will need rings of ceramic. They will contain small pinkish flowers, from which long calla lilies "grow". Their wire stems are wrapped with green paper and end with attached absorbent cotton, painted like a pistil, in a yellow shade framed by snow-white artificial petals.

Pineapple Miracle for March 8

Remove part of the pulp from the pineapple and insert a plastic bottle cut to size instead. Pour water, fill its bottom with a floral sponge - any living plants will be placed here. Around it, stick skewers with fruit slices represented by kiwi halves, apples, whole grapes. The sample looks very impressive and festive.

Bringing into reality your specific ideas, you not only refresh the familiar interior, but also develop taste, creative thinking, showing your own individuality. Discover the artist in you, doing an interesting and exciting thing.
