Ikebana for Celebrations with Elizabeth and Helen

We met as usual at the Khandallah Town Hall for our final workshop of the year. The theme was “Ikebana for Celebrations”. Elizabeth and Helen showed us arrangements using Mizuhiki cord of different colours. We all chose some cord to suit our individual work.

Afterwards we gathered at Sandi Hurnard’s place where we got together over a celebratory glass and toasted the end of 2021. There were a variety of drinks and delicious, tasty nibbles plus a huge bowl of delectable strawberries! Everyone had a relaxing time.
