Eco Ethel: The Really Wild Flower Show

Thursday, 13 March 2014

Here's an easy make...perhaps for Mothers Day or Easter?

I crossed a Kanzashi flower with a Suffolk Puff

and grew a happy hybrid.

Once the seed was sewn I couldn't stop.

My haberdashery was turning horticultural.

Nothing was safe...

I even pruned a shirt or two...

some vintage curtains...

and an old skirt.

These two were cross polinated...

My scrappy grow bags are still growing...

but at least I now have some produce.

What do you do with your scraps?

Crafty ways make flowers grow.

They are just gorgeous E,E. & I love your fabric combinations. I could just see them with a little brooch pin on the back or a hairclip perhaps .... or attached to the wrapping on a special gift ... hmmm ... the imagination boggles :-)
