What a spectacular idea...!!!

Anyone that knows me, knows I love to put flowers or something that is flower related in my work.  I don't always...  I like to make miniature things too...but most of the time I end up making flowers, or leaves or vines or...you get the drift, right?



..

I was shopping with my daughter and one of the stores had these big paper flowers in their display....I whipped out my phone and snapped a pix.

This is pictures of a one of a kind painting on newspaper that I saw at a local furniture store in U-city.  Sorry, I don't know the artist's name...but the painting is very cool in real life.

Picture from my flower garden...

Don't you just LOVE these huge metal flowers in front of the Metal Museum in Memphis Tennessee!!! 

Below are some pictures of my work that were inspired by floral objects...
 

So when my father, a retired machinist, hobby furniture maker and blacksmith, showed me these cute and AWESOME bird houses that he made...I thought...

Wow...those would be sooooooooooooooo cute as earrings!!!!  As soon as I get my studio up and running smoothly I want to make some of these...at least one...maybe a necklace.  Not only will it be something that will remind me of my dad, but it's a flower AND a miniature!!!   Will post a picture as soon as I can. 
So what has inspired you lately???
