Two different uses of flowers - the first a macro image of a clematis with one of my textures, the second a small textile piece using dried, pressed hydrangeas, together with embellished cocoon strippings, stitches and beads added. But where has all the warm weather gone! Even the newly-planted sunflowers have taken a battering in the wind - and they are all part of a competition!
Lovely images Julia and I like your hydrangea piece. This weather is very strange isn't it? We haven't had any proper rain for weeks and the gardens are all parched. Sorry to hear about your sunflowers. Maybe they'll recover.
ReplyDeleteI really like your stitched piece Ju.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is pretty bad too, we think our pond which we thought wouldn't fill may even have overflowed now - not what we wanted. At least my sunflowers are not for a competition and only just poking through the soil in a tray on the windowsill
These would be great as cards.
ReplyDeleteOh Julia, these are absolutely gorgeous! I just love what you've done, the colours and textures. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWonderful textures
ReplyDeleteWow that is so beautiful Ju x
ReplyDeleteThese are both great Julia I especially like the first one.
ReplyDeleteI enlarged the lower photo and was amazed at the intricacy of your work. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have been staring at the texture piece for several minutes...so beautiful...do you frame them? Even the photo is wonderful. let's hope it warms up for both of us...this cold weather is horrible!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and intriguing.... pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your stitched piece - and yes it is back to the woollies I'm afraid!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours and textures Julia. That top one is my favourite !
ReplyDeleteHope your weather improves soon - we've had rain here since last Friday, with 2 more in the forecast ! Ugh !
Very nice Julia...I especially like the stitched piece.
