Friendly Fall Fetishes

Every year, every season, brings a compelling new interest, a new obsession in working with flowers. I decided to look up the definition of fetish- yes, my interests had gone that far.

Fetish: 

1. An object that is believed to have magical or spiritual powers, especially such an object associated with animistic or shamanistic religious practices.
2. An object of unreasonably excessive attention or reverence
3. Any object or non-genital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.

Okay, yes for number 2- a little of number 1, but not number 3- well, at least not yet. 

This fall my fixations are marigolds, grayed out Ami majus (Queen Anne's Lace, for those who missed that post), echinacea flowers w/o petals and privot berries. I keep using them over and over, trying to get to something, trying to realize something or just trying. But time for that obsession to be over. After this week, no more fall colors allowed. We're straight on into Christmas dream time.
