Searching for flowers in Winter
This week's prompt in Sally Russick's photo challenge at The Studio Sublime is The Beauty of Flowers. Oh great. I love flowers. And I like photographing flowers. But my personal take on the activity is to take a picture ( or pictures!) especially for the challenge. And well, it's WINTER. Soooo, green house? Florist shop? Silk flowers?
I got to thinking about flowers as decor and I saw them... lots of places. I decided to focus on a lovely old dresser dish.
I think the flower details here are very lovely. (Also the lace!) This is all china, a molded china hand, flowers, and lace.
It makes a wonderful prop for taking pictures of other floral objects... in this case jewelry.
The brooches are vintage pieces from yard sale-ing forays in the summer. The Lucite lily earrings are my own design.
