Another try at manipulating leaves, this time with monstera leaves and a differeent technique for the equisetum. The monstera leaves I cut into “squares” to try to give them a different look and feel, the equisetum was curled at one end to given them an interesting look (almost like fern curls). Manipulating leaves is getting a bit easier to do, perhaps I’m thinking about the process more and becoming a bit more creative with each new idea. That’s what this 365 project is all about anyway.

Looks great, fiddle heads on ferns are very stylish but they are also completely seasonal. It’s nice to see you can make a facsimile with ready materials from the garden. All that after a busy day, congratulations.
Fantastic! Did you use a flower frog to anchor the leaves? Keep up your creativity
Yes Rebecca, I used a flower frog or kenzsn to anchor the leaves.
every thing is so great could you give me an web. address to buy Ikebana pots please thank you
My top pick for vases would be http://www.kaki4u.com. they can be a bit pricey, so eBay is another excellent resource and also etsy.com. Etsy items have a set price and you can find some great vintage and handmade items for sale!
