Felt Flowers: Orchid


At some point, I might do a series of tutorials based specifically on the many kinds of orchids. For now, enjoy this one.

Felt Flowers: Ivy Vine Garland


If you're having an Easter party, or a garden party, or a Halloween party, or a fairy princess party, or a birthday party for someone named Ivy, these will come in handy. Or you can drape yourself in them and call yourself a woodsprite.

Felt Flowers: Daisy

I had a bit of an adventure getting these images posted. My computer decided that Blogspot was a risky site and wouldn't let me upload images onto it. I tried logging out and back in, shutting down and reopening the browser, rebooting the computer ...
Finally, I discovered that, when adding pictures to a post, there is an option to 'add pictures from this blog' ... which somehow included the pictures I had tried to upload which had supposedly failed!
All's well that end's well, I suppose, but hopefully I won't have to go through that for every post from now on.
