More Embossed Copper

I've been busy making more embossed copper pieces, I really love the look and it's so much fun to find different shape and texture combination and find out which ones work best!

The flowers in the picture above have sold but I'll be making more so please check back within the next couple of weeks.

A fairly new shape for me, I love the long pieces and with 3 holes there are lots of design possibilities. This texture is Mehndi and as of right now there are a couple available for immediate shipment.

I've been using this Shard shape for some time but these are new textures and I love them!

A few more Shards in different textures. The first 2 pair on the left are sold but more will be coming soon. Both are listed for Pre-Order.

Another beautiful pair with Delicate Mehndi texture, I adore the texture gently swirling around to the center and each one is a little different but beautifully matched.

Just listed and Coming soon

Polymer Clay on the brain lately.
 I spend most of the morning making and listing and I think I've about had it for the day.
So here are some of the newly listed bits and some that I'll probably list tomorrow.

Today was a yellow and orange kind of day.

These Roses above and discs below have dark accents.

The Poppies below with white!

Here's something that's neither yellow or orange, something new that I love in this neutral shade.

And the last ones that aren't listed quite yet I used lots of color!

What color shall I choose next?

Any requests!!

I'd love to hear what you think about these new pieces,

constructive criticism always welcome!

Don't miss the AJE Earring Reveal
coming up late tonight early tomorrow!

My favorite Gladiola, is it stunning or what!

 It was here when we moved in 3 years ago and I look forward to seeing it every year.

 I'm considering planting more varieties of Glads, they have always been a favorite of mine!

Soft and stunning Hydrangea, just got watered so there's lots of droplets left on it which is always gorgeous!

I Heart Macro - Japanese Anemone

Last year I had some "landscapers" come and weed my garden as I had been having some health issues prior to this and didn't keep up with my weeding.

They pulled my Japanese Anemone and I was crushed,

I searched every nursery in my area and couldn't find any more.

FORTUNATELY

they hadn't done a really good job pulling it out because after a few months it began to grow again,

a year later I'm getting my first blooms!!!



Hydrangea





Hydrangea

I love the Hydrangea above, it almost looks like fireworks,

small sizzling fireworks in the center and big booming fireworks coming out from them!

Take a look at the other

Peony, in the sun today which took it slightly past it's prime, but still gorgeous!

This Wallflower is so bright, I love it!!

Penstemon!

One of my favorite Hydrangea's just beginning to bloom.

I'll have to try to remember to get out there each day and take progressive shots!

I Heart Macro - Poppy Kiss

I love I heart macro and I missed last week and almost missed this week, I can't believe that!!

Love this funny little face the poppy seed pod is making,

can you say Little Shop of Horrors lol!

I've never seen one that wasn't perfectly rouhD1

Gorgeous Penstemon, I love this color!!

And beautiful Foxglove,

Love my Lavender!!

There's a color them going on here I only noticed when I started loading photos.

Totally unintentional but I like it!

A different kind of Lavender,

every time I see a variety I don't have I snatch it up.

Amazingly gorgeous Hosta bloom,

it was really foggy this morning and being in the shade

it still has lovely droplets of water on it!

Another Hosta flower

Yummy Rose!

Gorgeous Fuschia!!

And just as I was finishing up this post I saw this lovely flitting around at my flower baskets,

so I went outside and chased him around for a few minutes until I got a decent photo.

I hope you enjoyed today's garden tour,

take a look at all the other Macro photograghy.

I Heart Macro, more Flowers

I'm starting this post off with a poppy again this week,

the first photo is a Poppu just starting to Pop!

They are so paper-like they fascinate me!

This one I'm looking directly in to it,

 I was so excited the center turned out so nice and clear with those beautiful two tone petals surrounding it.

 Love Callalillies!

And some mushrooms growing in the lawn,

 it's been mighty wet the last few weeks,

 they are in perfect harmony with the moisture.

Now for a series of White Clematis, this bush is chock full of stunning flowers and they refused to take a bad picture. Every single photo I took was beautiful so here they ALL are, virtually no editing!

This bee was very cooperative, much more so than the ones I tried to photogragh last week.

Thanks you little bee!

I love this last one, they look like they are floating!

Lastly, a Peony bud, I think by next week that bush will be full of flowers.

I Heart Macro - flowers flowers flowers...

Amazingly gorgeous Poppy, the petals look like paper!

So many beautiful flowers in bloom even though our weather has still been a bit challenging for the most part this spring, but I can't tell you how much fun I had going out and snapping pictures today!



Another beautiful Poppy! Look at that center!




My Yellow Rose that I bought last year.
Unfortunately it has mildew pretty bad already but the flowers are amazing!



Clematis

Clamatis

Clematis from underneath!



Golden Chain Tree




Amazing Rhody, the bush itself is less than impressive but the abundant flowers make up for it.
My husband wanted to pull it out but no way!




One of the most amazing things in the Pacific NW, the always spectacular Rhododendron,
this one really is that shade of Hot Pink!

 

Thank goodness I am not afraid of bees, I tried very hard to get a good shot of one but they were so fast.
They were buzzing all around me.



This one has little balls of pollen on each of it's legs/feet, so cute, wish you could see it!
