Continuing spring inspired vases

 I started going through files of my vases I've made. Here are a few to share here...just to enjoy springtime!





Geranium inspired


North Carolina triliums



I saw my first Swallowtail butterfly (not a Monarch) on Sunday at Lake Tomahawk! Couldn't capture a photo as it was pretty fast.

Sharing with Floral Friday Fotos




I donated this large vase to an auction to raise funds.




Then there's a face vase!

A pitcher serves often as a vase

My Texas roots still appreciate Blue Bonnets



A series of tiny celadon vases

A tiny bloom, no bigger than my phone

A lemniscate on a black, white and grey vase. For a wedding present.





I was honored to have my vase included in the publicity, middle of top row.

I did do a series of "O'Keefe style poppies" on various pieces. 


When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.

On Wednesday as I drove home on I-40 eastbound toward Black Mountain, I passed under two overpasses covered with various first responder vehicles with all their lights flashing...probably 8 ambulances on one, and the other at Swannanoa had this flag. They were honoring a former Fire Chief who had recently died. The procession in his honor was probably coming toward me from Black Mountain, so I didn't see it as I turned off the highway.
