Bird of paradise flowers and pansies

Hello dear readers,

The day after tomorrow, Saturday, is a very holy day in our religion.  It is the Day of Atonement
(Yom Kippur). The very religious spend the whole day praying and asking forgiveness from the All Mighty and fellow men.  No working, no eating, no drinking, no driving, no smoking. No TV, no newspapers and no radio except for one emergency channel. Only emergency or police cars are on the roads.  A very somber day for the adults.

On the contrary, children are having the best time of their lives.  They are able to take their bicycles and other devices on wheels out on the empty roads.  I  love to watch them enjoying themselves shouting and laughing happily.

This week I experimented creating bird of paradise flowers. The reason is I saw the real life ones, took a photo and ended up with 7 minis.  Hope you like them.











I didn't use punches for these flowers and if anyone is interested,  I'll show you how easy they are to make.

My two lonely pansies got company.  I think I made over two dozens.  They are very popular with my friends and family.  I "planted" them in tiny clay pots which I made and fired at my daughter's kiln.






A warm welcome to my new followers.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and blessings.

    Lovely interpretation to the Birds of Paradise! How lucky you are to have them growing near you! It is good to have a time to reflect on how we have behaved in our thoughts and actions. It makes us better people! If only we had a clear conscious so we could all enjoy a day of freedom with the kiddos! :O)

    The flowers look just lovely. And I hope you and your husband are able to spend a quiet day of contemplation together for Yom Kippur.

    Enjoy this special holiday which promises plenty of tranquility to concentrate on miniatures... ;O) You have been very busy and your flowers blow me away, this flower shop will turn out awesome. The pansies are so lovely and being the proud owner of one bird-of-paradise-plant coming from your talented hands I can honestly say your plants are beautiful.

    Hugs
