Dandelions… I am sure you are very familiar with this plant. It produces bright yellow flowers which then turn into fluffy balls full of seeds. To most people, especially keen gardeners, a dandelion is just one of those nasty weeds calling for a spray of weed killer. But how (and why???) would you go about making a dandelion? It is impossible to imagine somebody would want to create a dandelion by hand. But here we are. This dandelion clock is … Read More

Last Saturday in between the showers we set off to visit Peter Beales nursery, which so happens to be only 20 minutes drive from our place. Peter Beales, sadly deceased earlier this year, was very well known as a rosarian, author and lecturer. Beales was considered one of the leading experts on roses, especially species and classic roses, preserving many old varieties and introducing 70 new cultivars during his lifetime. Our humble collection has one of Peter Beales’ roses and we’ve … Read More

What do you associate summer with?  Warm weather, bright sun, blue-blue sky. Summer storms. Walks in the woods. Or, perhaps, in the meadows where amongst the sea of bright flowers you definitely spot a clover.

This summer flower, so tiny and humble, is one of the symbols of summer to me. White clover oval brooch  Designer white clover brooch … Read More

As you have probably heard, last Saturday Britain celebrated the Queen’s official birthday with Trooping the Colour, a fabulous military parade. Although the Queen was born on 21 April, it has long been the tradition to celebrate the Sovereign’s birthday publicly on a day in the summer, when good weather is more likely. This military ceremony dates back to the early eighteenth century or earlier, when the colours (flags) of the battalion were carried (or ‘trooped’) down the ranks so … Read More

Fantasy fabric flowers

Last time I was talking about how realistic silk roses can be. The pictures I shared showed the variety of form and colour one can achieve when making them. In this respect painting silk by hand comes in handy by allowing for the gradation of colour, which mimics flowers in the wild. But who said that we have to be restricted by any limits and only create realistic flowers? No one. Depending upon the project I often require a fantasy … Read More
