A Crymson Life

April Nights, Horizon, Candy

It’s a chilly spring morning, but the only morning of the weekend that rain is not in the forecast.  I was hoping to get the squashes planted outside this weekend even though the weather man says its supposed to get dangerously close to freezing over night in a couple days.  But if they don’t get in the ground they’ll die from lack of space.  I think I will risk the weather and see what happens.  Its just to pretty outside not to be doing something out there for part of the day.

Since it’s so chilly now I thought I’d add a few more flowers to the gallery.  First is April Nights, these flowers were all made this year.  They were inspired by the purples I had pulled out while trying to design a different flower.  I didn’t have luck with that but this came out of it. 


Another bouquet that I’ve added is Horizon.  This uses a combination of older and newer flowers.  I love the combining the bright colors.  They remind me of all inclusive vacation resorts, or islands, or tropical drinks.  This one in particular reminded me of the horizon right around dawn.  Pinks, oranges, and then the light peeking thru….  maybe it could be the horizon on an all inclusive resort sipping a tropical drink!  tongue wink

And this last flower is sort of a new design.  It’s called Cotton Candy, and the pinks really do sparkle nicely.  This flower is permanently planted in a small wooden box.  B/c it is permanently planted it’s apart of the table bouquet section in my gallery.  I have a couple more of these to show soon.  They are perfect for a splash of color on your desk or on a book shelf.

Yeah! My favourite one is April Nights because you just used “my” colours. The colours appear rather autumn-like (to me) and the wheat emphasizes this impression. Or it is a bouquet which blooms only in April evenings and scatters the smell of spring into the nights ... Be that as it may, the lighter cream (?) colour looks so great with the purples!!!
Horizon makes me want to have a Cocktail right away. Yummy! smile
And Cotton Candy is so interesting because of its center! Did you use gemstones and if yes which ones?
Can’t wait to see more!

BE—I guess i didn’t put much thought into the name of April Nights, the colors remind me of night and we are still in the month of April…so it just worked that way.  the cream color is a weird color bead…its actually a very very light lavendar that looks more grey cream than anything else.

Cotton Candy does have a gem stone for the center…i believe its moon stone.

And Cheers to Horizon!!!  =0)

hmm it’s a hard call, but I think my fav is Horizon. I also love the center in Cotton Candy.
