Spring is Here!

Spring officially arrives today, but you still not may be able to pick flowers outside, so why not make your own? I made these with my art students a few weeks ago, and they came up with some awesome ideas. Wish I had pictures of the boys who made Venus Fly Traps! They were my favorite...

All you need are some bamboo skewers, hot glue and cut paper. 

Cupcake liners work great for the daffodils.

Here are some flower shape ideas I drew up quickly before class started...

Well everyone, HAPPY SPRING! And, don't forget to check out the new Lady Lucas Website which is all fresh and clean for March!

The First Signs of Spring

Thank goodness the smallest signs of Spring are FINALLY coming out in the New York City area! I enjoyed taking a walk in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens this past weekend. Here are a few snaps of all the colors coming out in the garden!

This bed of crocus was literally the only patch of flowers in the whole garden! There was a line of people taking their picture.

These lovely little flowers were actually in one of the greenhouses, so unfortunately it's not warm enough out to have these beauties outside yet.

So glad March is finally here! Do you have a favorite spring flower? Leave a comment with its name below!

Blooming Windows

My mom painted these beautiful flowers on her dining room windows to get a start on spring. Thought I would share some pics of her flowers. They were done with acrylic paints. 

Let's all get excited that March will be here this weekend. YES!
