  17. Next step is to dip your dried roses in wax/parafin, the look is really pretty. It gives them an interesting composition and they last alot longer holding them together.

    For the love of roses...have a great week you long haired maiden...from one to another...ha!

  19. Very beautiful, Carletta.

    I love drying roses. I just hang them upside-down and that works pretty well.

  22. Lovely....I got a dozen yellow roses once. Sigh. Long time since that has happened.

    Your cardinals and hawk below make me a touch envious. I did see a new bird this morning. Not sure what it was but did get a fuzzy photo. Nice to see something not a crow for a change. Hope you are staying warm and safe.

    My computer is not doing well, alas, but better than yesterday, so I'm very grateful.
