My bittersweet vine theme continues for one more day, I was inspired by this bowl I received from my partner last month for my birthday. I turned it upside down and used the holes in it to build the ikebana. Kiwi vines as the base and a mass of bittersweet vines on the other side. I had a single chinese lantern pod that I used to finish the piece(and it picks up the opening orange bittersweet berries). Bittersweet and kiwi vines are some of my favorite materials, and I wanted to use the bittersweet while it is still fresh and pliable. It’s one of those invasive plants but I love it anyway.
