Description I work mostly the overnight shift at a large complex that spans a few blocks. Last Saturday morning, about an hour past midnight,  I happened to see a beautiful lady in the hallways walking towards me. That is quite unusual at that time to see anyone around beside the cleaners and co-workers.  I greeted her and asked her if she needed any help. She said that one of my co-workers had let her in the building at the other end so she could cut through the building to go to her home at the other end rather than walk around the building. That made sense considering the dark areas around the building and the weirdos that hang around. She asked me to guide her to the proper exit.

While walking to the exit, I asked her if she had just got off work. She replied no. She had just come back from a poetry contest that had ran late into the night. How interesting, I said to her. I used to dabble in poetry myself.

When we arrived at the exit, she thanked me and to show how much she appreciated being allowed to cut through the building, she said she would recite me a poem. How exciting, yes please, go ahead I said.

She said; "To my future child". That was the title. Then she recited me a very beautiful, heart felt and absolutely lovely poem. When it was finished I said, Bravo, any child would be so lucky to have you as their mom. As she was exiting, I added, you made my night.

And there she went away into the night. Pretty neat, at 1 AM, in the middle of my hum drum regular work, a pretty lady shows up, recites me a beautiful poem and disappears. Wow.

She will probably never see this but in return I expressed my gratitude by making this vase of flowers for her since nowadays I express myself in images rather than poems. I included several elements attributable to her poem. The energy of the surroundings, The old fashioned patina of the vase, the warm colours of the petals, the wispy wavering aroma that comes off the flowers and the overall pleasantness of of something pretty. I hope she wins the contest.


I really like this song and since she wishes her child was here, I guess it suits the mood. Bliss Wish you were here  www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nhLWB…

Thanks very much. I've done a few more vase pieces using the same vase (not posted) but with different finishes. I guess I am getting the knack of it. Just got an idea, I should make more metallic stuff.   yay

Ya I know. I love'm too but have the same problem. Nowadays so many programs as you say render things for you but my program isn't exactly a rendering one. I always admire traditional artists that do such a perfect work on metal and glass.
