Floweruffles

Not surprisingly, one of my new year's resolutions is to blog more often. I've been making it a point to write more, especially when I see or think of something inspiring. And lately, I've been finding a lot of inspiration on sites like Pinterest, Behance, Coroflot, and of course CommArts. There are so many ideas floating around, it's hard not to get up and do something about it.

So I got up and made a pillow cover. Doesn't sound very exciting, but it was fun! And pretty simple. Ever since I discovered how to create fabric flowers, it's been a case of can I put a flower on this, or would it look better on that? But I've toned it down and decided that I'd like to have my own flower embellished pillow.



This picture looks quite ominous with that bright blood red hue, but below are some friendlier ones. I enjoyed this mini photo shoot, especially when the sun came out for a minute and shone its graceful rays of light.

I left the edges of the fabric frayed, but if you use a craft hot knife like this one, it will seal the edges. So cool.

Fabric flowers are a great way to decorate many things... as I should stop reminding myself. Here is a great link to learn more about how to make your own!
