In The Garden - Sue M -"Along the Fence"
When I placed my folded flowers onto the background it brought to mind my grandfather's garden, it always contained rows of colourful flowers around the fence line - roses, sun flowers, tiger lillies, anything tall and colourful with rows of pansies, petunias, snap dragons etc in front. He loved colour!
The fabric for the flowers is glued together using vliesofix, cut into circles and then stitched and folded to make each petal. I used my trusty glue gun to fix the petals to the background.
Your flowers certainly pop. Great idea and great technique.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, your flower garden. Beautiful flowers on the perfect background.
