Delicate

 

Over at morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com the challenge for October is 'Delicate & Fabrics'.
This made me think of the magnolia tree in my garden and the beautiful flowers that are so delicate, that as soon as the wind comes along the petals drop from the tree.

 

For the fabric component I've layered lace trims under the photo, a lace flower motif, muslin, white cotton and I've made my own foamiran flowers.

 

 

Overall, very pleased with the outcome.

Hello

 

Well, here goes with my very first blog post.

This is the first page I've dedicated to my dad since he passed away just over 12 months ago. 
It took a while but it felt the right time and I'm really happy with the result.
 

 Here are some close ups.

I hope you've enjoyed.
