autumn

Another week another season.....I've finished Autumn now. I've included a hydrangea in Autumn and I know it is really a summer flower, but the flowerheads last much longer than the summer months and the ones in my garden turn a really deep burgundy colour. The yellow leaves are inspired by my neighbours plum tree, which overhangs our garden and the leaves turn a bright yellow colour in Autumn.
I'm whizzing through the year rightly........look out for Winter.
Bye, Ali

  4. Thanks Anna, the hydrangea was quite time consuming. The petals are a sandwich of organza
    bondaweb and polycotton. I free machined the petals and then cut them out in groups of three.
    I then sewed them onto a stuffed suffolk puff.
    All the 3d flowers are made with the fabric sandwich, Ali
