Hi Arachnids,
A few weeks ago I was working at some lace flowers to use as a decorative
commemoration of the lives of some very special people in my life, for most
of the flowers I used the poppy pattern created by Janice Blair as the
basis. 2 Poppies, 2 forget me not, an African violet and deep red rose and
the last one which was already a made up flower. I originally made it in
romanian point lace as a brooch for my Mum and she loved it but when she
passed away last September the flower came back to me. I bought some deep
golden thread to make a golden rose but when I picked up Mums flower I
decided to reuse that because she had liked it so much. I adapted it by
sewing the inner petals together but it took shape like a daffodil rather
than looking anything like a rose and as she had a March birthday right when
the Daffodils are in full bloom it seemed meant to be. I had some new
domes on order to hold these better than the current smaller one but they
arrived in the post today smashed to smithereens.
Once the memorial flower bouquet was done I set about making up two lapel
flowers using a posy pin my daughter gave me some years ago and I bought
her one very like it and made up a flower in white for her to wear at our
golden wedding celebration in about 10 days time.
Sue Babbs has kindly uploaded the pictures into a folder under my name as
several of you asked to see them when done. So thank you Sue.
