flower photography practice

Wow is it ever a lot harder than I thought to take nice pictures of flowers.  But I'm going to keep trying (as long as I can steer clear of the drive-thru ... get it?  "Steer" clear?  LOL!  Oh I'm just so hilarious, aren't I.)

Never mind.

I wanted to show you my Halloween posy because it looks so much prettier, now that the carnations are opening and I took out one of the green mist stems.

But I couldn't bear to throw out that lonely stem so I found a tiny vintage medicine bottle and it fits perfectly.

I used another vintage vessel for the main bouquet too - a glass milk bottle that I picked up at a flea market a while back.  I haven't had much need for vases over the years and I like making do with what I have.  But I might start looking for a few more. ;)

I also had fun adding the spools of lace to the photos - because the green mist is part of the Laceflower family.  I dunno.  I just like doing that sort of thing.  It makes me happy.

Sorry no sewing stuff today.  Hope you like my flowers all the same.
