From The Seminar held by Dorothea (2): Woven Palm Leaves

One of the four displays shown at Dorothea's seminar was the flower arrangement using woven palm leaves. It was made by Mrs. Kitty Catharina, a member of Dorothea from the parish of St. Martinus, Bandung. She used ‘elegant’ type of palm leaves (Latin, Chamaedorea elegans), which are really suitable for being woven.


This is it, the look of 'elegant' palm leaves that have been woven. It looks natural and really elegant, isn't it?


The flower arrangement seen from the left side. The materials used besides the 'elegant' palm leaves are florida beauty, schefflera and Lady Palm (Latin, Raphis exelsa) or in Indonesia it's popular as palm 'waregu'.


It’s seen from the front view.

Manggar, the young coconut flowers as a focal point. Look fantastic!!


The light yellow is a kind of succulent. A bit unusual look but beautiful!!.
