Iris

The Blue Flag Iris are blooming down at the lake.

Far Guy wants to carve one, it will be his next project.

I took photos of it from all angles for future reference….carving for him and painting for me.

This last photo is good to show him the stem and how it escapes from the bud.

We are still working on the Christmas ornaments for this year…31 are awaiting painting now.  Progress is slow but sure. 100 is the goal.

Far Guy wood carves outside every day that he can.

    Sounds like a complex carving but it will be beautiful.

    You guys are amazing. I say that as I gaze over at the little fish hanging in my living room in a place of honor. I look forward to seeing FG's wooden iris. :-)

    The iris is a delicate flower and should provide Far Guy with a fun challenge.

    Beautiful photos of gorgeous flowers. I still miss the iris we had at a previous house, but just haven't planted any here.

    Oh, I can just about picture what FarGuy could do with your photos and some wood. He just amazes me how he can carve such delicate pieces. You can tell they are done with love and patience. Him-carving. You-painting. :)

    The Iris will be a challenge I'm thinking. But no doubt FG will work it out.

    Native iris are so lovely and so fleeting. I look forward to seeing your carved creation.

    Your flower photos are always so beautiful, but these really capture the details. That would be quite a challenge to replicate in a carving, don't you think? I'm impressed at all the different carvings you and Far Guy have come up with, over the years.
