Remember the amaryllis???
I found it on the porch....still beautiful in it's own way! The stamens even have clear crystalized sparkly beads of nectar...what to do with this???
Here is one artist's beautiful book of ideas!
I know I'm not likely to make any fairie clothing from the ethereal petals, but they might end up on an ATC...Photocopies if not real dried petals!

The second photo is still beautiful. Just in a different way. I love the softness of the colors and the petals. I think that would make a great painting!
Forgot to say....I love that book!! It reminds me of my flower lady drawings only the ones in the book are much better!!
what a cool link! i love those little dresses and hats!
i'm glad you've joined in on the finding water journey. welcome!
have you ever seen that book of fairy costumes made of flower petals? your photos remind me of that. it's a beatiful book (sorry that i don't remember the name of it!).
Well, what to do with the old amyarillis? Would you consider composting? I like to keep a running composter going all the time.
Hi Lila, these could certainly be added to your list of beautiful things.
Downward facing dog is a wonderful pose.
I've had Amarylis Blooms more than once from the same bulb. After all the blossoms are gone....peel back a few layers on the bulb and replant....it comes back up!!!
I can't say how grateful I am for your comments! I'll certainly take it on board! Thank you very much and also good luck with your art and photography!
I think I have learned from all of your comments! good ideas...!
BTW the link in my post is to the book mentioned by Jessie.
I saw that link on Ulla's site and couldn't believe how amazing those fairy clothes were. I saw some place, maybe a tv show where a woman uses cabbage leaves and other such things, she somehow preserves them.
I love the idea of photocopying the petals and using them in ATC's. Clever gal!!
XOXO
