Welcome to Bebop's Place

Old fashioned Roses print

Beauty has been defined as "The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality." Since our responses are totally subjective, I can only speak to what moves me.

I want to share the beauty! I have created a variety of floral products for my Zazzle stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, using my original photographs and designs. I am also constantly amazed at the gorgeous floral products available from the rest of the Zazzle community. I am hoping others will enjoy this blog and even be moved to purchase some of these lovely items for gifts or just for the pleasure of having such beauty around.

Wow, it's the end of the month! Summer always seems to go by so fast. My tall verbenas have started blooming and all the little creatures are visiting the blossoms. Yesterday I took this photo of a honeybee on verbena with poppies in the background and made a poster and note card for Bebops Place.



Here is a beautiful floral card from Seymoursimages that can be used for a variety of occasions. Add your own text to make a very personal message. Use for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or a sympathy card

All this heat and rain is really making things grow. Yesterday we had to stake the tomatoes even more as well as some of the lilies and the Golden Glow (Rudbeckia laciniata 'Hortensia').

I got creative with the image I used on the poster I posted here yesterday. In addition to making some cards with the straight image, I made a cutout of one of the roses and put it on lots of products for Bebops Place. Here it is on a travel mug.

I think the gorgeous zoom in of the heart of a pink rose, focusing on the inner-most petals on this magnet by RossiCards takes on an interesting abstract feeling.


The design on this tote bag by ArtformTheHeart is in the Art Nouveau style and is based upon sketches that the Scottish architect and artist Charles Rennie MacIntosh did for a design competition in 1901 named "House for an Art Lover". The house itself was not built until 1989, being completed and opened to the public in 1996 in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow.

I sure do love summer! It's a time of sensual delight. When I wander around, the brilliantly colored flowers are a joy to the eye, the perfume of the lilies delights my nose, and the singing of birds and croaking of the frogs are music to my ears. The soft, warm air feels so good on my skin.

Most of my roses are done blooming but I took this picture yesterday of tiny red Meidilland roses with stargazer lilies in the distance. So far, I've only made this poster for Bebops Place but I plan to work on more Zazzle products with the image today.

She says, "The text cannot be customized because of the accents, but if you would like some different text on any cards, please let me know by the 'send message' in the side bar."

The phlox and lilies are the stars of the flower garden. Green beans have started dripping from the vines. I'll be freezing beans today! Here's a note card I made from a photo I took last week.



And now...more roses!

Leda is an antique Damask rose dating from the early 1800's. The petals are many and vary in color from blossom to blossom. Creamy pink and often tinged with darker pink, she is also called the Autumn Damask or Painted Damask. This hat from Bebops features her blushing pink scented blossoms scattered across the front.
