Rendered continues to be a public radio show that promotes craftsmen and curious individuals who enjoy the thrill of creating things with their own hands.
Portland-based radio show
Destination DIY, has officially changed its name to
Rendered.
The official name change occurred during an episode featuring the story of PDX airport’s new carpet.
Though the show may have formerly been associated with only home improvement topics and stories about crafts, the release of the story about the airport and the name change illustrate that the show is actually about creativity and “making meaning” as a whole.
“It was time to rename the show to expand the association in people’s minds,” said the creator and host of the show, Julie Sabatier.
Despite the name change, Rendered continues to be a public radio show that promotes craftsmen and curious individuals who enjoy the thrill of creating things with their own hands.
Sabatier went on to explain how Rendered is a name broad enough to be associated with anything from “video games to cooking.”
Rendered stimulates faithful listeners and welcomes new ones due the show’s efforts to constantly explore new topics and stories.

When designing your arrangement, look to your organic material for inspiration but dig into your depths to find a beautiful memory or passion within. Ikebana is about capturing a specific landscape or a single moment in nature, just like a haiku.

The tallest should stand upright and represent the heavens (shin). The medium length represents man (soe). The shortest represents the earth (hikae). One should also consider what altitude each plant specimen comes from. A flower that grows in the mountains should be placed above a branch that grows in a lowland prairie.

You are free to incorporate any leaves or flowers that complement the shin, soe and hikae, but only in odd numbers. This is called the jushi.

A kenzan, or floral frog, is used to support the stems upright or attractive angles. It has a weighted base and spikes to spear the stems onto. This frog is placed in a shallow water dish.

Working slowly, place each stem into the frog. When ready to place on the frog, trim the ends 1.5” from the bottom for maximum water intake.

To create a truly stunning living sculpture, hide your frog and water container by tucking leaves or moss around the base of your arrangement. Sometimes flowers are placed in a wide shallow dish with river rocks placed around the frogs to look like a tiny placid pond.

Let your arranging be a fun and relaxing meditation, one that celebrates the simple beauty of spring blossoms. Happy spring.
