Separated At Birth??


My daughter and her friend are really into making these pet garments.
The latest creation is this leopard print shirt with collar for Steve.
When they put it on him, I thought Steve looked like Elvis Presley.
Don't you think they look like twins that were separated at birth???
Love, Gwyn

Dreaming




Hello Girls!!! This project is called "Dreaming". We had to make something from found materials. :) SO i used wood (Used to be my deck) to make a frame, then painted black. Furthermore, I found some dry branches and colored them with grey paint and then on top added some black. The wings of butterflies are made of dry rose petals and the bodies are made of plastic bags and then colored.

This project was one of my favorite. Hope you enjoy it.

Have a great Day! ~Farfalla~

How Spookey - jangold

Well what a coincidence this is.

I keep on my laptop a folder of pics to post to my blogs and to Polygirls and in it I had this photo of the same bird of paradise flower that Xena posted !!

Mine was taken in it's native South Africa at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town which I visited in Oct 2007. They are beautiful gardens which I have not visited before on my previous two visits and the part where this flower was found was a special area dedicated to Nelson Mandella and had been specially opened by him. As Xena said the meaning behind the flower is freedom therefore this flower was adopted by the black South African's as their national flower. I have some beautiful pics of those gardens and of the sculptures in there - I will post some more in the future.

Strelitzia Reginae. PoliXena

Hi dear friends, this is a gift for all of you, a flower wich is very common and popular here. It can be found almost everywhere and it´s named also bird of paradise due to its form. I took this photo last Sunday, near my house.

This very handsome flower is native to South Africa. It was introduced to European gardeners in 1773 when it was part of a shipment of horticultural specimens bound for the Royal Botanical Garden of King George III.

Strelitzia Reginae was named after the king's wife Queen (regina in Latin) Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Strelitzia).

It symbolizes Freedom, Magnificence and Good perspective. I think that these are great wishes for today, have a nice Wednesday. Hugs, X. xxxx
