Branching Out into Florals

I love flowers, both growing them and making them. 

When I was a kid I made crepe paper flowers an ribbon flowers, more recently I have made a few sugar flowers for cakes. 

So it is only natural that I try making flowers from hymnal pages. 

My first design was this lily 

Then this peony (I am not really happy with how this one came out so I will have to try again some time.)

Next I made this giant dahlia thanks to a friend promoting me to try my hand at rolled paper wreaths. 

Coming soon, a dog rose aka wild rose. I am super excited about this one, I already have my patterns drawn up!

And because they go with the floral theme, I have decided to throw a few butterflies into the mix.
