The day after my Covid jab and I was expecting to have a sore arm and feel tired, but nope, all was as normal.
But, Photoshop wasn't as normal. So I uninstalled and reinstalled it many times, which was a right pain as our internet connection is still very slow. After much swearing I finally installed an older version and, bingo, it worked, so whatever Adobe did in their most recent update, it glitched.
I've been looking at aquascaping and trying to get my fish tanks more aesthetically pleasing! I found this glass vase and decided to try a small planted scape. Quite chuffed, hopefully they will grow & I may add a couple of snails later on.
Soil topped with gravel, then sand. Some drift wood, stones and various 'easy' plants :)
Folded from 1 sheet of 150gsm approx marbled blue's and white by Cave Paper.
Full Timelapse to how it was made can be found on my youtube channel FearlessFlourish.

We bought these two hand-made vases last year during our trip to Turkey.
Great timing to have a challenge for vase the same day Hadley brings home white roses. I like the simplicity of this clear vase. But it has a funny history. I hired LOTS of student workers in my IT job at a university. Was clueless that one had a crush on me till he brought me a fabulous bouquet of flowers in this vase! That was a lifetime ago.

This old vase was my grandmother's then handed down to my mother and now has ownership in our home. It will hopefully make it to a 4th generation. Very old!

Dans l'Égypte antique, les vases canopes, au nombre de quatre, étaient destinés à recevoir les viscères embaumés du défunt. Ils étaient fabriqués en calcaire, en albâtre, en terre cuite, en céramique ou en faïence et étaient déposés près du sarcophage, dans la chambre funéraire du tombeau, sur une caisse ou une cuve.
Christmas Potpourri Vase
Potpourri is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant materials, used to provide a gentle natural scent, which is often placed in a decorative bowl.
The word "potpourri" comes into English from the French word pot-pourri. The French term has two connotations. It is the French name for a Spanish stew with a wide variety of ingredients called "olla podrida", a specialty of the city of Burgos. The word was taken and copied by the French military during the Napoleonic occupation of Burgos (1808–1813). The word pot in French has the same meaning as it does in English (and as olla does in Spanish), while the word pourri means rotten.
Pot-pourri has been used in rooms since ancient times, in a variety of ways, including just scattering it on the floor. In early 17th-century France, fresh herbs and flowers were gathered, beginning in spring and continuing throughout the summer. The herbs were left for a day or two to become limp, then layered with coarse sea salt. The aging mixture was stirred occasionally as layers were added to it. Often the mixture would ferment or even mold as the summer went by. In the autumn, spices would be added to the unsightly grey mix until a pleasant fragrance was achieved. Then, scent preserving fixatives were added. The finished potpourri was set out in special pots with perforated lids to perfume rooms.
Much modern potpourri consists of any decoratively shaped dried plant material (not necessarily from scented plants) with strong natural and synthetic perfumes (and often coloured dyes) added, with the scent often bearing no relation to the plant material used. Sometimes, items that do not originate from plants are mixed in with the potpourri, to give it bulk and to make it more aesthetically pleasing. It is possible to spray scents onto potpourri, however, a fixative is needed so that the scent is absorbed for slow release. Generally, orris root (from the root of an iris) is used for this purpose.
