In a Vase: A Small Posy

Only a short post for this week's vase, but I did want to share my little posy.  Two rosebuds, the lavender-hued "Sterling Silver" above, and the soft pink "Tiffany" below, are combined with Nigella damascena, dianthus, lavender "Goodwin's Creek Gray", and a spray of flowers from Sedeveria "Sorrento".

 

The vase is a dark-glazed stoneware bottle I made a few years ago.

 

As you can see, the photos were taken under artificial lights - a big thank you to my sister Sarah for helping me with that, otherwise there would have been no post at all!   As there is, I can link with Cathy's wonderful In a Vase on Monday at Rambling in the Garden!

    Your lovely 'Sterling Silver' looks other-worldly in that first shot!

    The lighting is certainly very effective, however it was done, and your little posy is so perfect and really well balanced in shape and colour. Do you still create pots and vases these days? Using your own creations adds a whole new dimension to the vases and I always enjoy seeing them

    Kris - I love the way 'Sterling Silver's' color is just far enough from the usual pink to have that effect! ;-) Thanks so much!

    Cathy@Rambling in the Garden - I am still making pots and vases, though not in large quantities. I used to think mostly of making for table use, but I find making for flowers at least equally rewarding - no surprise, perhaps! ;-) Thanks so much!
