Hey! This is my Ikebana project I did while I was at home. I bought one of those round spiky things, but I had to use a dish-bowl because I didn't have anything really shallow, I hope that's ok!! All the flowers and branches are from my backyard. :)
Also, Shoji I will send you that transcript of Shinto Nature & Gods in an email soon.
