Fuchsia-Jay

Had a busy morning printing the rest of my petals to turn into flowers, hopefully I should have enough cos I'm looking forward to a rest from printing and having normal coloured hands!

I did have a bit of time free at the end of the day to play with some very nice silks I'd dyed and made some Fuchsia's but they were coloured like a blue jay...

The big one is for my neckpiece and I got so excited after I'd made it I had to make some little ones for earrings!

Flower Power!

Had a fun day making flowers. I dont want to jinx anything but it all actually worked, my pull throughs didn't run everywhere, my dyes all turned out nice colours and making the flowers didn't make me want to cry!

This is my blue jay flower, just made from cotton, I was supposed to embroider the black on but I  got too excited and was half way through sewing it together when I remembered!

Silk Fuchsia, it needs its stamens etc cos it does look like it's missing something

 Organza butterfly flower, possibly my favourite! (yes that is a roll of double sided sticky tape holding it in place, it kept falling over haha)

 Silk peacock flower, this just needs shaping a bit better

All sorts of excitement...

Been doing some more drawing of leaves and fun things. It was actually quite exciting, I turned some leaves into a butterfly!

And I thought I'd make a Fuchsia flower cos I didn't know how hard it'd be (it was very)
