The building of a ...

centerpiece.

First I set a *theme*.
For Sunday, I wanted to use spring, music, and rejoicing.

Next, I started gathering,

taking from other areas of the house.

I ended up with more way more than I could use use.,

making a big mess.

I like to use table mirrors or something similar

to define the space and to give it a stopping point.

I tried this empty frame but it just wasn't doing it for me.

Hmm...Look around...

there's something I haven't used before.

Yep, it might work.

Then I just start *playing*

arranging by height and balance.

It's all in the details.

Is it a little over the top?

Probably, but I like it.

Come back tomorrow for the finished product.
