Victorian Flowers

Every so often a craze sweeps over me and I make a particular something like there's no tomorrow. A while ago it was these organza flowers.

 A friend of mine was getting married and made her entire wedding bouquet from the ones she made in black and red.

She taught me and the craze took hold.

They are made from circles of organza fabric and the edges are held carefully above a candle flame until they curl and shrivel in the heat.

When sewn together they make very individual flowers as you can never tell how each layer will turn out.

The centres are made from pieces of jewellery I bought in Primark sales and took to pieces.
