Line Arrangements
Line arrangements are adaptations of Japanese styles. The linear quality
of a few branches, leaves, or flowers is emphasized to produce a cleancut,
sparse look. The spaces between the plant materials are nearly as
important as the materials themselves. Color is of less concern than
line, shape, space, and expressiveness.
Successful line arrangements develop a dynamic feeling of action,
movement, life. At the same time, the spaces stimulate contemplation
and imagination in the viewer. Line arrangements encourage creative
experimentation and originality because they are based on the natural
lines and spaces of the plant material and do not copy stiff geometric
designs.
Many line arrangements have three lines or placements. Often all three
lines are of the same material, but you may select one kind of material
for two lines and another for the third. Although this third placement
may be fuller and more colorful, it must not detract from the strong
linear effect. To avoid the cluttered look, remove leaves of flowers that
interfere with the main lines, which are often slender, thin, and flowing.
Select thicker, fuller materials to develop a strong, sturdy effect. Do not
feel restricted to three lines or placements. Try arrangements with two
lines or five or seven. Study plant materials and use them as they grow.
As you make many line arrangements, you will begin to develop your
own free-style or freeform designs.To achieve the desired natural effect, place all the stems close together
on the pinpoint. Let the stems start out together and extend in the same
direction for several inches before branching out. Try to select materials
that have just the curves you want.Pinpoint holders are best. Low, flat bowls, compotes, or pedestal bowls
are good containers. Vases may be used if the pinpoint is mounted near
the top by filling the vase almost full of sand or fine gravel.
