Fancy Felt Flowers

Kat and her sister, Kaye, is making good progress with their felt cloth and buttons bouquet. Nakaka-excite makita kapag naka-layer na yung flower-shaped cutouts and ready for stitching and design.

layering the cutouts and where the buttons go

Variations in stitches and button designs will make the flowers on each bouquet unique but using similar color tones (violet, green, and beige hues for us) will maintain its unified look. Kaya pasok pa din sa motif.

At first, matagal gawin yung mga bulaklak dahil madaming kelangang isipin: what flower combinations to layer, anong stitches ang gagawin, anong buttons ang gagamitin, at paano ang layout. Matagal din (at masakit sa kamay) mag-gupit ng flower patterns at tahiin yung actual stitches. Surprisingly, for Kath and Kaye, it got faster after their first few flowers. Just a jump-start of creativity and they were set.

Ang ganda ng kinalabasan nung unang bouquet! We can't wait to see everything done (three more for the secondary sponsors) so we can move on to doing Kath's own bouquet. Dapat mas standout than those of the entourage's (maybe bigger? more flowers on it? more radically looking buttons?). May mga ideas na kaming pinag-lalaruan. We'll see.
