BRAMBLE RAMBLE

 

Here is my third iteration of 

my Bramble centerpiece...

all pinned in place.

I began here:

With this enlarged sketch

Then went to here

↧↧↧↧

Using the "clay bowl idea" in my mind...

B U T

Somehow it just didn't work for me....

Sat and thought and fingered

through my fabrics that I had pulled

for a week while my thumb healed...

And so I ended up completely

pulling the orange bowl and going

for this:

H E R E...

:))))

Much better...

;)))))

I free cut everything--ditched the templates--

and just went for it...

by 👀👀👀

I thought the deep blue bowl was a

better choice with those purples

that I had in my stash pull...

And instead of the original aqua stems

I had cut....

I went for this "old gold"

piece of leftover that was sitting

on my table...

I cut down the number of flowers 

from 9 to 7...,

trimmed down the background

yet again with ruler, pencil line,

and scissors...

[note well--no rotary cutter!!]

***********************

I plan to do "raw edge applique"

by hand as

I did on my fabric Journals last year...

using various stitches

and threads, perhaps even 

some beads...

At least that is the plan for now, but

as you know these "best laid" 

plans can change...

Hugs from under my parapluie

this Saturday morning..
