Finally a little bud!

I've had this cactus for years, and it never flowered for me. Well this year, I noticed little buds on the leaf nodes about four weeks ago. I watched with interest as these started growing, and growing. It is a very slow growth process, and not to sure what the flower will look like. It seems that every day I look at it it's grown a little.

I have a Christmas cacti that blooms every year; and

it's also blooming now. This is a different cacti, with

bigger leaves. Here it is in early stage.

FALL SYMPHONY

This piece was a fun one to do!

I used a photo transfer for the very background

trees. On the blue dress I first of all pasted some hearts cutouts from japanese rice paper, and then covered it this with another beautiful transclucent blue paper for her dress.

It was a piece to honour the fall.

A Haiku poem accompanies this piece
