I ordered this peony kit from VariAatje. Ria's kits are just beautiful! I still have a hydrangea kit to do but that will have to wait a while. PHEW! No one told me how much time some of the flower kits take to put together.
The hat and purse are made of congress cloth I dipped in strong tea. I didn't want to use the paper flowers for a hat so I stitched them out of 2mm and 4mm silk ribbon on gauze. Then they were glued on.
Maybe some of you remember Penny Weight Press. Barbara Raheb made such beautiful books. I am lucky to have several of them. The unabridged (fully readable) Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is on the table and E. B Browning is in the purse.
The lemons are polymer clay. My first attempt at making any sort of food.
Wow!! Flowers, hat, purse, lemons - all beautiful! Well done!

So pretty! Yes, the flowers do take time. I make hydrangea's from painted art paper and paper punches but need to expand my floral repertoire!

All your little treasures are so pretty! Flowers do take a long time to make, but what they add to a room is well worth all the effort.
