Bottle of Curiosity with Iris
Uploaded: May 20, 2011
Submitted for the PG101 Flower Holder Theme
I thought I'd show off my beautiful new vase, made by an artist friend, and some of my finally blooming iris. The vase happens to be called "Bottle of Curiosity #13". Check out the discussion thread for a peek at the set-up and my faithful helper :)

I have a wonderful helper husband named David, too! Glad you wrote that your vase was from an artist friend as it made me think of several vases made in art class or from artists.Gord MacEachern May 20, 2011

Love the curves and colours of this still life. Yes a helper is often needed but never around which is why you need 3 hands lol. #9422787Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
