I had this flower idea in my head since yesterday and just had to make it today.
I wanted to use some of my Dupioni silk collection and a contrasting colored flower stamen.
I haven't really made (m)any flowers like this before so I think it turned out not too bad for a first time.
As you can see, I've been playing with the editing again...and I couldn't choose which of these photos to post. So I put them all!
I basted one long edge and pulled the threads to gather. I cheated and glued the stamens in place as you can see by the pin above.
I have quite a few of those stamens too. Most of these are vintage. I am now far away from the place where I used to get them but a quick search online revealed a place I have shopped with before and they have quite the collection as well : )

It's great when an idea so strong in your head evolves into reality...gorgeous!
Thanks for your comments always, I appreciate the visit...I am struggling with my new project at the moment...the ABC animals aren't turning out how I imagined.
Oh well...I'll keep plodding along and hopefully it'll blossom one day.

I do that sometimes! I am a huge grump until I get to do whatever I am inspired to do. The flowers are pretty and the edited photo's are cool... I am sort of wondering what the flowers look like without the editing.
Amazing flowers! I'm always impressed by what others can do with fabric.
Thanks for coming by my blog for Heather's interview. She's a very wise woman!
