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..
