Picking flowers . . . .


from hats!  These vintage pretties yielded not only flowers and leaves, but glittered tulle, beads, satin and velvet ribbon.  




They were glued on - not fun! Three hours, a sore thumb and a steam bath later, I have a yummy pile of soft millinery near my desk upon which to gaze and dream - bliss. A few of these will find their way into a journal I started after taking this lovely workshop. The huge buttermilk rose on the cover of Heather's journal is simply gorgeous!  I go to that page every now and then just to to visit that rose.
