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 need a David, I think... between driving, holding backgrounds, remembering ladders... what a great guy to have around!
The vase is really cool, and the "portrait" result is terrific! #9416377

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.
Love the vase! And to have just the right container for your iris, so great!

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. #9422787
