Each of us can sometimes turn into a wizard, an artist who creates beauty from the most common objects. It is not necessary to be able to draw in this case. The main thing is to feel the color, to be able to fantasize and to want to create something magnificent.
What is ikebana
The Japanese own the discovery of not only various cutting-edge technologies, but also the amazing art of Ikebana, surprising in its beauty and subtlety. In the beginning it was just the creation of bouquets of freshly cut fresh flowers. They were placed in living quarters, bringing to the interior the natural beauty and energy of nature. The basis of such compositions was refined and at the same time very simple materials. Later, bouquets began to be made from dried flowers, twigs, grass, leaves. This is how the autumn eagle is formed.

Try and you yourself as a master. Pick up a small vase or pot of clay. Wand and wicker from a vine or a bark, willow rods will approach a basket, a box. Since you have an autumn ekibana, it is important to place it, firstly, in a container of natural materials, and secondly, to observe a warm color scheme. Glass vases in this case will not create the desired effect. Next, prepare what you will work with: Bring dry stems of field lawn and meadow plants from the street . Remarkably it will look like a autumn eagle with branches of wild rose, on which berries flare. Well, of course, a variety of maple leaves! Using the principle of contrast, choose brownish, burgundy and yellow. Their elegant coloring, colorful texture will perfectly convey the shades of autumn mood. Complement the composition of dry fir cones. Your autumn eekbana is almost ready! Arrange carefully and beautifully in the vase or basket materials. Next to the table, put a few red apples and cones.

Bouquet of dried flowers
If the previous composition consisted mainly of leaves, now we will make the bouquet. The flower autumn eekbana, the photo of which you see on the left, is composed as follows. You will need dried flowers. It can be asters, golden balls, small gladioluses, even roses. It's great if there are marigolds, gillyflowers, black-hens. They blossom until the deepest autumn, so you can always find several specimens. A real find for your autumn ikebana is physalis. His elegant stems and reds are attractive in themselves. And among the dried flowers, they will look especially festive and emphasize the uniqueness of the nearby plants. Instead of physalis, you can take asparagus. The branches of rowan, scarlet, yellow, orange and necessarily with leaves, will also serve you just wonderful service. One of the basic rules of how to make an eekbana is - do not form an excessively lush bouquet. Just take one element as the main and 2-3 companions. As the Japanese themselves claim, there are 3 components in Ikebana: heaven, man, earth. And each of the components personifies one of them. All objects of composition must be installed in different planes, asymmetrically, imitating the free, creative spirit of nature.
