Why does everything look prettier under glass?

Whew!! I've been trying to post for the last 12 hours!
I wanted to share my latest little creations ~
A few decorated bottle brush trees....

This first one is housed inside of a tiny vintage baby food jar!
I love the jar...and now it has a new purpose ~
I think it stands about three inches tall!




I'm running out of vintage jars but had these beautiful tiny cloches and creamware saucers
and knew the trees would be pretty displayed with them ~
here's how my other two turned out:
They each stand about 7" tall including the glass cloche!





And here's the last one:





These were all special orders...
so on to a few more needle books that are orders as well!

I hope you are having a great Friday sweet friends,
and please know how thankful I am for you!!!!
hugs and love,
Dawn

Darling! They are extra special under glass. I just put my bottle brush, totally unadorned, in with the antique ornaments.

These are beautiful, Dawn! I just tried my hand this week at bleaching some trees and decorating them. I was pretty spare for my first go, but they were really fun to decorate. I'm looking forward to doing more!
