GREENEGLOBES... glass ornaments filled with nature's elements



I have a gazillion clear glass orbs that I filled with a selection of dried grasses, leaves, flowers, feathers, mosses and twigs. The tops are either hand wrapped natural hemp or twisted flat metal..  No two are exactly alike.  Some sparkle. Some are very zen.  








wire & twig nests

 Finally, I have figured out how to upload images to my blog! These wire and twig nests come in 2 colors and 2 sizes.  They are adorned with natural grasses, feathers and berries and can be filled with tillandsias, beach glass or whatever you can imagine.

Nests

There are many ways I create nests...this is just one.

Succulent Mural

B. Bright, B. Green Moss

One of my favorite types of moss to use in so many different ways.

Patterns and Pillows

I just love to decorate my living space. This pillow is one I purchased some time ago--but the color and pattern works well with everything!

Holidays Two Ways

Different approaches to holiday cheer. Starfish, pine, delicate leaves.

Thanksgiving Centerpiece

I designed this custom centerpiece. I used eucalyptus, holly berries, California oak and green moss. The leaves are large.

To my delight, the centerpiece is still on my customer's table. Even in spring, it still looks great!

Floral Arrangment with orchids

Arrangement: another one of my creations...

Floral Arrangement

This is an example of an arrangement I design.

Fall Flowers and Vegetables

I just love the way you can mix and match these bright hues. Where else but in California is it possible to find October produce, roses, hydrangeas, and yellow daisies all on the same day?

Great Colors!

B. Paresian!

Viva la France! I just love this eclectic window dressing at a store in Paris...

THE CALLAS ARE COMING

Here it is  Lilies and sunflowers from a favorite floral book

This is my first very own post-yeah!

Let's find a pretty spring floral arrangement to make us forget how gloomy it is outdoors.

IT's hot in here!

I love hot houses...but my thermostat needs some work!

Cloudy Sunday

Well....its time spring forward. But somehow the weather is not not doing much for that today. so instead of heading out into my garden, I'm going to work on thinking of new ideas about sea shells, spring, and summer. So the plan for this week?

B. Greene..and spring forward.

Holiday Center Pieces!!!

Festive Wreaths

At last! Winter is coming to a close and I have time to begin writing about the creations that I was most excited about last year....

Winter months in Northern California never fail to inspire. I spend autumn finding treasures: eucalyptus buds, mossy branches, special red berries. These things in themselves are quite enough to start making wonderful winter wreaths. 






Each detail is important-- a small dried cusp of leaf, a miniature pinecone, or a snatch of gauzy ribbon...






Making wreaths from actual branches is especially rewarding....
