    That is so cool, Iris! Especially trying to imagine any Jr high kid having the patience and attention span to do something like this nowadays. Did you just start doing them yourself, or was it a class project or...?
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    it was not a class project. I never took an art class but for one in a summer in high school when my mother signed me up for it. But it didn’t stick. I always liked doing my own thing and also I liked decorative, ornamental arts, I like illustration. I wasn’t interested in “real” art. I recognize this egg from my pen/ink and watercolor period.

    Yet another braggadocio art project from Iris.

    here is a flower arrangement I made yesterday in my newly acquired vessel from potter Carol Long. I love her work and have several pieces from her.

    The wild and crazy plant material in this arrangement echoes the wild and crazy natural theme of the container.

    It’s hard to see the container with the plant material in it, so I added a picture of just the container.

    I love both the container and the arrangement. I love begonias, and I always grow a few different types outdoors in pots during the summer. They are very toxic to cats though, so at the end of the season I give them away or compost them.

    Really cool wild and crazy design! That is coleus, right? That's one of my favorite plants--and there are so many varieties. I use it in my window boxes and also as a plant in my Japanese "courtyard"
