Christmas Cloches au Natural

Hi Friends...

I thought I'd do a quick post 

and share my two Christmas Cloches

from the Dining Room.

I love the importance a simple vignette can bring

when it's snuggled away under a dome of glass.

My favorite seems to be of "natural things"

like birds, butterflies, mossy pots, buds and blooms.

Whatever season it is, I lean toward the real reason for a cloche;

to protect the vulnerable plants and specimens.

I have the two I made this year on the Dining Room Buffet,

but since the lighting in that spot has too much glare,

 I usually bring them somewhere else to photograph.

I wanted to feature this lovely Velvet Pear made by my sweet friend, 

Becky from Timewashed. I think today, 12/12 is her last day open,

then she goes on Holiday Break. But she'll be back next January.

As I was taking pics,

 I realized that I needed to eliminate some of the excess,

and let the Velvet Pear take center stage.

So, I did a little re-make,

and liked it so much better.

Here are the Christmas Cloches from last year.

and several years ago...
