136

Seem like forever now I have been busy drawing out - from cardboard templates/stencils I've made. Cutting out little flowers etc, using every skerrick of fabric I start to use - those pieces that still have some fusing on them. I know a lot of you draw & cut the image out first on the fusing then iron it to the fabric but I just seem to do it the other way around - that's me always have to be a bit different ... wait a minute I only just read the other day that is one of the things that make an artist ... doing things different or back-2-front...
My flowers looked a bit lop-sided [as I said in the post before] so I decided to use my punches as templates - I must get a bit fussy I think as I like them to look 'right' although not everything in nature is perfect in shape, I know, not that 'mine' are perfect but I think I do 'over' try... ya know what I mean ... I think my girlfriend says I'm being a bit pedantic!!!

Sooo what do I say of my DH when he asks me... 'couldn't really do 'something' with these bits?' ... oooooh cheeky Buggar ... just because it was his birthday ...

Doesn't my inside garden have lovely colour ... in flowers & in circles ... love colour...
I must have enough for 10 Art Quilts I think ...
I knew those Ferrero Rocher boxes would come in handy & with Christmas just gone a new supply ... ohhh the thrill of it all ...
Thankful ... for finding the simple pleasures in my life ...

Wow Bethel - it's just like a rainbow of flowers - great idea with the ferrero boxes - I find my flowers are so hard to keep with limited space - I just have them in plastic bags at the moment.

Hi, Bethel! Wow! What an ambitious project! Looks like you'll have lots of fun, colorful bits for future projects! Have fun! :-)

And thanks for stopping by my blog during One World - One Heart!

Oh! Now I want to make a rainbow coloured garden indoors! How yummy :D

Hmm... you know all those bits of fabric? You could use them as inclusions in making paper or felt, or stick them all down on thick paper or card and use them for a collage/painting base. They're such nice colours, it seems a shame to just bin them...
