Name: Chi Kim VuAddress: Hanoi, VietnamTeacher: https://www.facebook.com/kim.ta. Material: roses, rattan string, calatheas leaves…I did this flower arrangement for the inspiration of the Chinese ribbon dance. This dance always amazes me when the dancers use silky ribbons swirling around, the movement, the music, the colors… everything is so vivid and beautiful.
