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 and Michelle's Thankful Thursday

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.

MAYA ANGELOU

Rainbows are gay space lasers.

That's why they're not straight.

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.
