Fascinated by what I saw, I decided to try my hand at this beautiful floral artistry.
I spent hours over the weekend experimenting, melting various man made fabrics over the flame of a tea light.
What fun! The heat from the flame transformed scraps of material into petal like shapes that can be layered together to great effect. I'm hooked, absolutely delighted with my results. I can imagine the joy that God would have experienced when He created the real deal!
I had to photograph my work in progress beside a lovely vase of daffodils in order to share my delight in both. My flowers may become hair adornments or brooches, or sit together on a plate, who knows, I'll see how I feel when I have finished them.
While working over the flame, I got to thinking how such a small, innocent, beautiful thing could develop into a raging , destructive blaze, especially hearing of the eleven people who perished in a house fire overnight in South Brisbane. My heart goes out to the families and friends of the victims. Fire is not something to be underestimated, or taken lightly.(Yes, I was outside as I worked and I did have a bowl of water nearby).
Credit goes to the folk who inspired such wonderful creations, thank you.
