A woman of a certain age, my life has encompassed being married, being divorced and now being a single mum of a grown up boy who still lives at home. Resident in the south of England, it’s not my spiritual home, but it will do for the moment.
I am an ikebana artist. I am a student of the Ohara School of Ikebana and currently I am a Second Master. It has taken me 15 years to get to this point and I have derived a great deal of pleasure from my work. When you reach 4th Master, you are granted an honorific name by the School. My name is Homi which means Abundant Success.
I can be found on Twitter as @whithernow
There I do poetry, try not to be a smart a*se (frequently fail at that) and take part in #fp (Friday Phrases) which you should really check out as it is great fun!
I never knew someone who attended a school exclusively for the arrangement and aesthetics of organizing flowers and plants for the environment. I’m glad you get such pleasure from this type of art.
