Sunflowers, Echinacea & Rolling Stamps 26-29

These are photographs I took in my garden the other day, between the rain storms.

I did actually put them on a post yesterday but then the power supply to the internet blew up just as I was about to post, so it didn't work. I could imagine a fire starting from that incident so I'm glad we were in the house when it happened. Anyway all fixed now as you can see.

Rolling stamp 26 is made from fun foam in the shape of buttons

for the pattern below I drew on paper first, although I don't always do that.

The stamp below is made from lace wrapped around an empty paint bottle.

I'm off to the Birmingham quilt show tomorrow, anyone else going there?

Altered Flower Book [p23]

The photo of the flowers towards the centre was a work of textile art, similar to some that can be seen on my website . The echinacea flowers seen at either side were originally for a piece of artwork [fabric - stitched print] which didn't go to plan so has been recycled for this book.

Exhibition - A bit of a Mixture

Echinacea on the run. Another picture at the exhibition [see yesterday's post].
