Our new colleagues - 新しい仲間

先週から、新しい花の仲間をお迎えする事が出来ました。生け花の経験を持つ和子さんと、以前体験教室でご一緒くださったマリエさんです。お二人とも、自分で花を購入してデザインをするのは初めてだったので、少々戸惑われたとの事でしたが、いざ始まってみればお二人とも右の写真のようにしっかりご自分のデザインを作り出していただきました。花材はお二人で一緒に購入し、教室でシェア。だから花材は全く同じなのですが、受ける印象は少々違いますね。花は本当に不思議です。上が和子さんの作品、下がマリエさんの作品です。
Last week, we welcomed 2 new colleagues to our class in Bloomsbury. Kazuko has some Ikebana experience, and Marie who came along to one of our trial workshops before. They told us that they never had designed their own arrangements, starting from buying flowers. So, it was not a surprise they were a bit nervous. However, once the class kicked off, both of them made their own design individualy. They bought the material together, and shared in the class, so the materials in the arrangements are the same, but somehow they look individual. It is mystery of flowers. The top one is Kazuko's work, and the next one is Marie's.
