Arrangement with Plants on a Wall - Winter Forest

These two pictures are my Wall Arrangements (Book 4-17). Sensei likes us to try a "Modern Style" instead of traditional arrangement, since Ikebana is a living art form.  I had a painting in my mind so I used my imagination to create two scenes, Winter forest day and night. (My first Wall Arrangement was posted on 7/30/2009)
Using recycled paper and board, the fresh materials are Dahlia and green leaves (in water tube). The dried materials are painted twigs and hosta leaves.
