The blooms are soft, crafty and just a bit sci-fi.
I make these flowers by quilting small pieces of naturally dyed silk. I use a variety of dyestuffs; Queen Anne’s lace, goldenrod, indigo, madder, rust, brazilwood, onion skins, etc. Each one is hand sewn and stitched on to a lining of felt made from recycled bottles. I sewed a little pearl in the centre of each sweet little bloom. These make cute brooches or hair pins, your choice. (Also looks smart on men’s suit jackets as a boutonniere).
