It's been a grey day out and while I was in my yard to pick a colourful bouquet, I noticed some of the flowers are fading.
I returned for my basket, thinking to gather fallen and fading blooms and put them to use colouring silk.
The peonies are just beginning to show themselves, but I luckily had petals of the same kind ready to use from a bunch I'd been given and here is a close up of the result:
And those orange poppies? They gave a much subtler hue.
Here is the peony piece and the one beneath was a mixture of azaleas, rhododendrons and a variety of others.
I would like to make another garment using some of the flower fabric.

Pam - thanks for visiting - I love your work and look forward to seeing more! I am well and thanks for asking - just took a break from fibre to do a visual autobiography and have been back creating with fibre again, but haven't returned to blogging.
