Under Glass ~Spring Cloche



Put almost anything under glass and it takes on a whole new element of sophistication! Pheasant under glass, snow globes, terrariums, Tiffany's jewelry and cloches!


This cloche will bring a touch of  Spring to my kitchen.







Don't you love Spring...under glass?

    We had six or seven sweet nests full of baby birds around our house last year. I enjoyed watching them grow and seeing them learn to fly. Since then, I've taken to decorating with more nests and bird items...I love the reminder of God's continuing life cycle! I love your nest under the cloche.

    Yvonne,

    I love the treatment of the photos. I wish you would share which program you used to turn them into such lovely paintings.

    I couldn't find a cloche I could afford, BUT I found a grand old birdcage, so I use that instead. And the plus side to it is I don't have to worry about it getting broken by my wandering cats! It's a great alternative. I'll just come visit your wonderful site and admire yours!

    Lovely, Yvonne, and I love the wire ribbon you tied off on the top of your cloche, too. I've been keeping my eye out for some nests and robin's eggs in the stores. Right now there are a lot of pastel eggs for Easter, but I'm sure I will find them! I always like the look of a nest with eggs under a cloche.

    Your cloche is beautiful Yvonne. I love all things that remind of spring and a nest full of eggs certainly does the trick. Your imagery looks like a master piece.

    That is so lovely!
    We have a cloche in our sunroom, right by the door. We put "found" things under it from our adventures! Feathers, a bird nest, a broken pocket watch found in the dirt...
    Every time I glance at it I am reminded of our family time together!

    I love how everything looks so pretty under glass. I didn't have a cloche in my house until I started blogging...now I'm always on the look for more:) I love that ribbon (ribbon is my weakness). I've never seen any like that around here.

    Simply lovely, Yvonne! With the rough ribbon & the texture of the nest & eggs, you've created a beautiful contrast. Boy have I missed not being able to see what you've been up to! I have lots to catch up on, I see.

    ♥♥♥ the colored sugars...you can be sure Ms. C. & I will be making some of that in a rainbow of colors on her next visit. What a great inspiration you are, my friend! I've missed *talking* to you!

    Hugs,

    I think there is something magical about cloches and agree that you can put something under them and they become sophisticated.

    Hi Yvonne...

    Ohh yes...I just love spring any ol' way...but I do admit that it is awful pretty under glass! My friend, your sweet little bird nest and speckled eggs are sooo pretty and they just sing of spring! I also really like your pretty french writing ribbon that you embellished the cloche with! I sooo enjoyed your beautiful spring post, my friend! Loved your photo effects...they would make a pretty piece of art to hang or a beautiful card!

    Warmest spring wishes,
    Chari @Happy To Design
