Now, I've got a cat who eats flowers, so this keeps my fresh flower out of his reach. But even if you don't live with a flower-eater, this is still an adorable and unique item. Each bud vase is one-of-a-kind in a unique shape with unique handmade polymer clay canework. This one is a rough skinny vase shape with a "ruffle" at the top. It measures 4.75 inches (12 cm) tall with a 2 inch (5 cm) opening at the top.

Specs: *The measurements are - 9 inches across by about 9.25 inches high and 1/4-inch thick including the backing layers. Be warned - this piece is not quite perfectly square and even - I've never done anything perfectly square in my life! *Lightly sanded and buffed, but basically the finish is matte. *This piece is mounted on a layer of cardboard with a layer of felt on the back. It can be framed, displayed on a stand, or hung as is. Please let me know if you would like me to add hanging apparatus on the back. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=70646 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 21:11:08 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=61718 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=61718"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/9770_product_649869766_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is a one-of-a-kind necklace and bracelet set that is truly wearable art.
