fabric flowers

Will have some new additions to the website soon.  I am currently playing with fabric and fire!....with a bowl of water nearby, just in case!

Loving the way fabric moves when held to a flame.

Great flowers for corsages and wedding bouquets to come, just got to decide which colour I like best.

So far done red, purple and white- should have done red, white and blue for the jubilee...too late now.

Think tonight I fancy peach.

Happy curling

Wedding bouquet quest.

Still working on the wedding bouquet idea, I have now begun playing with Fantasy Film, a type of liquid resin and have created a lovely pearlised flower with seed bead stamens.




I've also been playing with seed beads to make French Beaded roses.

Let me know what you think and which one you would prefer...or if you think both would work well.

Liquid Resin

Just been a bit busy playing with liquid resin.

Thought I'd try making some flowers to put in my latest design of a bridal bouquet made of beads, crystals and buttons.

Got the flower right, now just have to get the strengthener right as the first session turned the beautiful pearl flower, yellow!

Once this technique is in check, I will post photos of the flowers for you to comment on.

Hope to do this in next couple of days.

Still so tired

Managed to make three bracelets tonight to take to the shop tomorrow and made four French beaded flowers.

One of them is for a friend to use on a cushion she is making for her sister's birthday and the other three are for a wedding.

They will be wrapped onto hair grips to be worn by the three bridesmaids!

Think I may go to bed early to catch up on some lost hours from the weekend!
