Picking Pedals



As summer is coming to a quick end and and others are getting ready for fall and back to school, I am still soaking in the sun and savoring the beauty that summer brings.  A technique my mother is teaching me, I picked fresh flowers from her garden and will use them to create a beautiful pattern and burst of color onto fabric.  I took off petals, different grasses, snapdragons, etc along with matter ( a type of red dye) and spread across the fabric.  Next, I rolled it up tightly and let it boil in water on the stove.  It needs to sit for a few days but will share the end result once its complete!
