Florals at Christmas Part II

arrangements: reubenvision

A mix of pinecones, roses, candles & evergreen boughs. Here are some shots of the centre pieces that will be making the trip to Grammy's. (I will be sure to replace the candle before I gift them ;)

Well I am off to get wrapping. We are doing Christmas as a family tomorrow before heading out of Province on the 25th. I am planning on one more post (Christmas Eve) before taking a little break for some holiday fun. 

Friday Flowers & Apple Jelly

I am really impressed with how long the Wax Flowers (they are real, wax flower is just their name) are lasting. These are still mostly all in bright bloom three weeks later. The white ones are lasting longer then the pink. 

I also thought I would share a few shots of the delicious apple jelly that my mother made last weekend. If Anyone is interested I can share the recipe. The best part about this batch is that it is the first year we were able to use our own apples. Our solitary tree in the front yard had a bumper crop this year. I also think the fact that we now have a dog, is keeping the usual deer gang at bay. 

Happy Friday!

Some detail shots of a large illustration I am working on. The entire piece is around 2' x 4'.  I am using larger papers lately & it is pushing my comfort zone. I shall upload a shot of the entire thing when I am finished.

So Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance may or may not have the best/clever name in my opinion & I have no idea how it smells (as I am actually allergic to scents) I am however loving this bloom inspired magazine ad.

Scientific Botanical illustrations have long bean a magnet to my eye. Not only beautiful, they have a certain sophisticated air; that may have to do with how neat & documentary-like they are.
