With a new month comes a new challenge! This time around we are looking at “Lovely Lines”

Create an arrangement focusing on the use of lines. Curvng lines, straight lines, thick lines, thin lines - large or small its up to you. For this challenge you can use bought or foraged material. (Max 3 entries per person)

(Remember if foraging on land that is not yours to ask permission of the land owner before foraging.)

Submission Deadline: March 8, 2026, 7pm AEDT

Email your photo: with your contact & postal details and the subject “February Monthly Challenge” to alexander.evans.ace@gmail.com

The ikebana artist with the winning arrangement will be notified the week following the deadline. Their arrangement will be highlighted on the Hanakuma Ikebana Website and the prize will be posted to the address nominated in their entry email.

This months prize is a small but unusual container comprised of hexagonal tubes combined in an interesting configuration. It offers potential for some innovative arrangements with multiple openings and varied heights.
