Texture Tuesday ~ Open

Wasn't sure what I would come up with for this weeks Texture Tuesday theme, Open. But when I was looking for flowers to buy last Saturday and saw some wax flowers that were open, I knew that's what it would be. A couple of weeks ago, I bought some wax flowers that were just buds, and I waited for them to open. I wasn't even sure what wax flowers looked like, so I googled them and they were so delicate and pretty. Well, I used the wax flower buds to take photos with my miniature vases, and was hoping they would open up eventually, but they didn't. They still looked beautiful though.


I divided the new bouquet, which was quite large, between some of my small vases and took some photos.





They looked so pretty, that I no longer keep all the small vases stored in a box in the closet, I put some of them on display to enjoy along with the wax flowers. So that is how the Texture Tuesday theme came to be : ) All the photos, except for the first one, were edited using various Kim Klassen textures.

I'm posting to the Texture Tuesday, Open eDition, see you there!

  7. oops... meant to say "vases".
    is the vase in that first shot actually a vase?
    or was it originally used for something else?
    it's just such a different piece... i love it!

  8. hi georgia, i'm not really sure what it is, i found it at an estate sale and couldn't pass it up. it is quite small so i'm not sure what it was used for.
