I've been working on this mega-batch for a while now - eventually all those poppies will become brooches and hairbands and bracelets. It's a lovely relaxing project where I don't have to cut out complicated pieces or have to think about "what colour next?"... so it's perfect for those times when I'm feeling tired or uninspired or just need to sit and chill out for a couple of hours!I'm currently loving the look of the white poppies all stacked up like this:

ReplyDeleteOh wow, you have been a busy bee!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just wondered if you use patterns to cut out your flowers or if you do them freehand? I find it really hard to use patterns when I'm cutting out small pieces of felt!
ReplyDeleteI love your poppies and wild roses!
Hi Sarah, I use paper patterns for most of my work. It can be a bit fiddly sometimes but having small sharp scissors helps a lot! :)
