Flower #9

Poppies are a beloved Ukrainian art motif, symbolizing joy and beauty,
they also happen to be a great subject for my flower for the week.

Flower #8

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
It's the week after V-Day,
But here's some flowers for you!



Paper-covered boxes topped with a dozen paper roses.

Flower #7

There's not much to do when a blizzard decides to dump four feet of snow on you. All you want to do is stay warm and dream of spring.

Staying warm is what prompted me to dig through my box of yarn scraps, which was followed swiftly by the thought of spring (for the thousandth time) and the inspiration for this week's flower.

(I didn't use a pattern, except for the blooms themselves, and even that I changed to suit my scale.)



Yellow Primroses
Crochet
Acrylic Yarn Scraps

Flower #6

Orchids and thermoplastics. An unlikely pairing in the natural world perhaps, but a perfect one nonetheless. Showcased in my flower for this week:



White Orchid
Polymer clay and acrylic paint



It's a pin, by the way.
Modeled by myself.
