Flowers bold and beautiful

If you remember the colors of my fermented veggies from the previous post HERE you are not surprised by this:
Frankly speaking, I started in small size - from coasters.
They gave me this idea of bigger, simple, minimalist flowers for wall decor. And what started from a rose continued in... purple pansy:
The next was daisy:
They are fun to create. The longest part is design but when it is done the rest is just "pedal to the metal".
Of course all the fraying is intentional and secure. All the flowers are in similar size (approx. 15in in diameter) and available in my Etsy shop. And that's how they look together:
Bright and beautiful textile flower power. It might not be the end because...
some tasteful, edible yellow roses came my way. Oh well, this inspiration stream has no end :)

These are lovely. But, the designer and sewist is lovelier.

The hen in troubles

Image
Sometimes things are simply overwhelming... I can only guess that keeping balance for this little hen is quite a challenge. But she keeps her face straight. The amount of dishes is truly impressive. To dive or not to dive? Maybe just looking will do the job? But the water seems so joyful and friendly... So maybe, just maybe, all the troubles will turn out to be manageable? Courage, little hen!

Old Garden collection / Ogrodowa kolekcja

Image
Do you remember my mysterious "Old Garden" ? Now I call it finished! Next time when I start something like this, please remind me that it is not the fastest kind of work :) Pamiętacie mój tajemniczy "Stary Ogród" ? Uważam go za skończony! A następnym razem, jak się wezmę za coś takiego, przypomnijcie mi proszę, że to nie jest ekspresowa robótka :) But I have to confess - I love it! And I'm really glad that I made it. Ale przyznaję - uwielbiam go! I bardzo się cieszę, że zrobiłam coś takiego. I'm going to frame it professionally and put on a honorable place on the wall. With the pieces like this it is impossible to sell it - there's no money I would prefer to keep instead of this magical garden. It's not just the matter of the amount of time spent on this. It is more about my thoughts, some ideas and their execution, it is so much "me". Mam zamiar dać go do oprawy, a potem powiesić na honorowym miejscu. Takie rzeczy nie nada...

Botanical laces / Botaniczne koronki

Image
I told you about my love for laces before ( HERE ). Maybe I wasn't clear, but in fact I see laces everywhere. Wspominałam już wcześniej o mojej miłości do koronek (choćby TU ). Nie wiem jednak, czy macie świadomość, że ja je widzę wszędzie. This artwork from 2008, named "My Way" is the first one where I decided to show it off. W tej tkaninie z 2008, zatytułowanej "Moja droga" zdecydowałam się to ujawnić publicznie.  As you can see,  my laces are a combination of lace patterns and botanical patterns. Jak widzicie, moje koronki to taka kombinacja wzorów koronkowych z roślinnymi. I collect botanical books even longer than lace books. And I use them for inspirations pretty often. Atlasy botaniczne zbieram jeszcze dłużej niż ksiązki o koronkach. I używam jako inspiracji zaskakująco często. For example these trees from my current big project are in fact... Na przykład te drzewa z mojego obecnego "dużego" projektu są w istocie... ... gr...
