Summer is here, and with it comes the nostalgic charm of seashells, reminding us of childhood beach trips. There's something irresistibly magical about those little treasures from the sea, isn't there?

In her series on Summer and Shells, Ilse uses shells to create arrangements with shells suspended in the air, shells in water, and shells outside the water and container. She walks you through the techniques and principles behind each design and shows how you can use this unconventional material to create beautiful ikebana arrangements. If you do not have shells, you can easily replace the shells with CDs, DVDs, or other flat surfaces.

Whether you're looking to sprinkle a touch of summer into your living room or seeking fresh inspiration for your workshops or classes, this series shows you several possibilities.
