Odd thoughts

I've posted a number of flower pieces today and, as I was working on this, I was thinking about when I was creating the cards and ornaments.  I realized something.  I was making them because I was afraid.  Dad has weakened so much that working with God's flowers was easier than watching his labored breathing or his struggle to sit up.  I was close enough to be instantly available if he needed me but could, for brief moments think of something else.  Is that selfish?  I don't know.  Hmmm...

Some Ornaments

I put these together as Christmas gifts and loved them so much that I've decided to make lots more!

These are done on glass with the art sealed for protection.

And a few more...

Cards, cards and more cards...

More cards

Here are a few more cards.  Creating them is therapy for me .

Greeting cards

These are  more general cards for any occasion.  All are ready to frame if desired and are sealed with UV protection.

Adding new pieces as I watch and wait.  It feels like something is headed my way and I can only sit and wait...

I'm adding my newest greeting cards as well as some ornaments I've done this fall.  Right now I can only tackle the small projects while taking care of Dad.

These are some seasonal greeting cards I experimented with.  I particularly love the scenic ones and will definitely do more.  The poinsettia ones are much lighter reds than in the photos.  The wreath is holly leaves punched out of calla lily leaves and the bells were out of sunflower petals.  The stars are made from sunflower petals also and the ornaments are punched from rose petals and larkspur.
