I recently had the opportunity to help transform a room for a party.
A large ghastly red door needed to be prettified, so a large piece of grey cotton neutralised the offending colour.
Party-goers helped make the handmade cotton flowers and attach them to thick satin ribbon.
This is a reconstruction..everything was carefully ironed at the time!
A little girl who wears a long pink dress becomes a princess. A little princess has to have flowers in her hair. A real princess has to have flowers to match her dress.
Small flowers. Floppy flowers. Individually cut petals. Hand beaded stamen.
Begging to be put in swept back hair, pinned on a jumper or attached to a bag.
That is, of course, if Mr MacTavish lets them go!
I love to make things. This is where I record my work and share interesting little things I stumble across both online and in the streets of Cairo, Egypt, where I live.
