kinda tall and thin, sorta short and fat....



I wanted to make these tall, thin vases, which is a new shape for me...I usually love making nice and round pieces, like the boxes below...
a friend was telling me yesterday that her mother collected boxes like these, from Japan and China.  The same oval shape, with flowers painted on the outside...yet INSIDE was er0tica! HA! Nice and naughty...
in my own case, these are the first 3 I have made with flowers, and I think inside I might make a little frog.....

Gary, those vases are winners!
Penny's nose up there in your header looks so sweet. Give her a kiss from us.

Golly, I haven't done boxes for ten years or more! But you are giving me IDEAS!
Needless to say, yours are great!
Love the flowers!

A frog in a box? They are beautiful! Tall thin are the lovely bud vases, any-buddy would love them.

A surprise inside the box is a very cool idea!
