Say It With Flowers......

No other decor livens upa home like fresh flowers, moreso if it is artistically arranged inattractive vases. Ikebana, theJapanese art of flowerarrangement, is synonymouswith delicate and intricatearrangements. The SogetsuSchool of Ikebana is known forusing any available material andconverting it into a beautiful pieceof floral art.

Smt.Namitha Suresh,President of IkebanaInternational, Bangalore Chapter,is a keen practitioner of this art,her speciality being innovativetheme-based arrangements, asdistinct from mere aesthetic ones.With Dasara just around thecorner, Namitha brings to theBhavan a special ikebana show—the newly-opened KRG Hall will

be filled with fragrant, attractiveflowers, revolving around thetheme of the festival of dolls.

The centre stage of the hallwill literally be sprinkled withblooms, ferns, twigs, leaves anddecorative material of everycolour and variety, whereNamitha will put up four largeflower arrangements. The rest ofthe auditorium will see anothersixteen lush beauties—a feast forthe eye and balm to the soul, fornothing uplifts one’s mood andspirit like a bouquet of freshflowers. And Namitha’s floraldecor promises you that.

Plan a trip to Bhavanbetween Oct. 16 and 19, whenthe ikebana show will be on from10 am to 7pm. You may evenwant to try your hand at it andmake your home a charmingdwelling place, without spendinga fortune on it!
