Floral Designs Look Elegant on Speck iPad Cases

Floral Designs Can Be Even More Striking Than Floral Photographs When You Want Flowers on Your iPad Case

As I was writing my last lens, Cover Your iPad with Flowers, I was trying to limit myself to only featuring iPad cases with floral photographs. And I did find some with splendid photographed flowers -- too many to use in my lens. But mixed in with these were also some magnificent floral designs that were not photographs. I noticed that the flowers in the floral designs were flawless, unlike real flowers, which usually aren't. The artist can make floral designs the way he thinks they ought to be instead of being limited to what is. In the real world, dying flowers are right next to new blooms, and sometimes disturbing the fresh one to remove the dead one also has a detrimental effect on the photo. In the real world of the garden, only the main flower being focused on is sharp, leaving those behind it in progressive states of blurriness. This is not a problem for the artist, because his brush or pencil or chalk controls how the image looks.

A skillful artist can make perfect flowers. Or she can make impressionistic flowers, or abstract flowers to suit different tastes. As I browsed the floral iPad cases on Zazzle, it was hard to leave the artists' designs out because they struck a chord in me the photographs did not. So I promised myself they would also get their chance to shine. This lens is that chance. I hope you love these designs as much as I did. If you want to personalize by adding, removing, or changing text, just click on the "customize" button to do your magic, and you will have the perfect iPad case for you or the one you want to gift with it.

Flowers by Van Gogh

The Old Masters Still Have Much to Offer

Vincent Van Gogh began painting at the age of 28, and in nine years finished almost 900 paintings. No wonder he wrote to his brother that painting was hard physical, as well as mental work. By the time he died at the age of 37, he had sold only one of his paintings. As was true of many artists, he was never famous while he was living, but his legacy to us lives on. You can enjoy Van Gogh's work, including these florals, on your Speck hard iPad case. They will beautify while protecting your iPad from physical damage. The designs are actually printed on an easy-to-grip fabric that covers the hard case.

I'm glad Van Gogh left some flowers he painted in the garden, since they look more natural there, and the grass and trees add to the color.

How to Paint Flowers

Now that you've seen what others have done, you might be wondering if you could paint flower designs yourself? Even if you've never painted before, you could try. These few simple pointers might give you just the nudge you need to get started.

So many flowers so many styles.

In my first lens Cover Your iPad Case with Flowers, I featured only designs using photographs of flowers. This lens uses artist designs rather than photographs. Do you have a definite preference for one or the other? Or do you just have to see the design that catches your eye to know what most appeals to you? If you knew about both these lenses before looking at either, which would you choose to read first? Feel free to elaborate in the comment section below this poll.

There's Frogs in the Flowers on Speck i-Pad Cases

These frogs seemed to have escaped the pond and got into the flowers. Some even picked them to offer as a token of love.

The butterfly is a flying flower, The flower a tethered butterfly.

Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun

"To me, the garden is a doorway to other worlds;

one of them, of course, is the world of birds. The garden is their dinner table, bursting with bugs and worms and succulent berries."
- Anne Raver

Birds Also Like Flowers, and Both Look Nice on iPad Cases

As might be expected, the birds most often in close proximity to the flower are hummingbirds. That's a good thing, since there are so many people who love hummingbirds with their bright, colorful wings and bodies. But the hummingbirds don't get all the flowers in this section, as you will see.
