Well, I don't love it. But I do like it. I love the idea, but I tried too hard to keep it too simple. I should have stamped the sentiment on a tag hanging from the knot. I used SU Watercolor crayons to color the leaves a bit etc. I love how thatl ooks. So, it's not exactly what I wanted, but it is nice and I do like it. At least I didn't succeed in making it as "ugly as possible." Sometimes failure is a good thing, no?

Love the soft coloring of this beautiful sunflower! The added homemade flower soft is fabulous and adds dimension to it. (curious how you did that). I love it just the way it is!

I took a styrofoam ball, cut it in half, and rubbed it together. Put the shavings in a little container and dropped a few drops of brown dye in it and then a drop or so of black. Stirred (squished with my fingers too) and let it dry for a bit. Voila.

the texture of the Styrofoam is fabulous I like it like this and if you wanted a set of them, you could easily recreate this and have more with more.. ( You know hanging tag sentiment versions)
