I have never been over enthusistic about the Art Deco style in architecture or furniture, but I do like AD ceramic ware. I decided to use my Clarice Cliff vase (c.1934) which was inherited from my mother-in-law and of which I am particularly fond, in an attempt at making poster.
The photo was one of over 70 shots! I could not get it right as kept getting a wall shadow and flash reflection. Finally I discovered I could turn off the auto flash on my Canon 450D - a Eureka moment!

First off, a very well captured image. We must thank your garden for providing the Daisy- it subtly provides an extra dimension to the composition without distracting the viewers from the beautifully crafted and painted vase.

Beautifully created. A real contender for the contest. Best of luck!

Nice idea. The poster is def. in the art deco style, but I would say that the vase itself is definitely more art nouveau (which is a more organic, flowing style, whereas deco tends to be based on geometric forms).

Nonetheless, it is a skillful combination of the two styles to my eyes.
