A Quote About Uniqueness...

Inspirational photography

Isn't it wonderful and such a blessing to be unique?

I thought you might enjoy this extra photograph today too...
so very pretty in purple blue hues with mystical background swirls.
Wouldn't this shot look fabulous framed in white for your decor, 
or
to gift (as Christmas is coming!)
 ;)

'On A Wire' Hanging Frames...

I love the fun way these frames are hung on a beaded wire.

You can also use this technique to create a more industrial look 
by using a thicker wire, larger clamps, 
combined with metal or natural wood beads.
Mine are small frames, and as the decor colour accents dictated
red, black and white, those are the colours I used.

To make:

2 x  lightweight picture frames with or without mat
(mine are matless frames - $6 each from The Warehouse).
2 x 40cm lengths of wire 
(adjust wire thickness and length according to size of frame you use).
Clamps
Wire cutters/pliers
Beads 
Art, photographs or quotes

Step 1:  Frame chosen pictures.

Step 2: Measure centre tops of frames and insert an eyelet screws.

Step 3: Make a loop in the wire and clamp.

Step 4: Put beads on wire.

Step 5: Loop clamp as shown at bottom of wire through the eyelet screw and squash clamp to desired length.
Trim excess wire
Make sure each hanger is the same length on each picture.
Hang on wall.
As I live in an earthquake zone, 
I always put a piece of bluetack between the picture frame
 and wall to keep straight.  
This saves time by not having to straighten pictures constantly!. 

'On A Wire' hanging frames look fabulous in my office.
And I can easily update images in the frames 
when there is a need for change.

In love with Magnolias...

Magnolia 'Black Tulip'...


An outstanding performer in the garden.


New Zealand raised by Mark Jury,
 this stunning magnolia has large cup like blooms.


They are dark ruby red (mine has pink undertones).


Magnolia 'Black Tulip' will grow to a height of 6 metres by 4 metres...
The like acid soil and are deciduous.


Available via most New Zealand Garden Centres 
or through Wairere Nursery online

The magnolia centres are complete bee food...
not to mention incredibly interesting to look at.

And each year in Mia Bella Gardens the tree produces more and more flowers that last an incredible time.
