Amazing what you can find in your own back yard.
nice.
ReplyDeleteat Dairy Flat we found we could print with the purple petals too...but when we tried them as ice-flowers the colour gradually vanished. possibly due to chlorine in the water...
but loving those leafprints
the purples were glorious on Jo's feltwork. I've had some petal colour success with sea-soaked cotton too. Tnx India
