We have some lovely Spring weather
the garden looks stunning :
after the dull wintertime
the earth has turned green all over.
The different flowerbulbs give us lots of colour
and the Forget-me-nots are filling up the rest.
I looove when the Malus is in bloom
Yesterday I started brewing a pot with onion skins
with a strip of thin cotton cloth (IKEA curtain)
and put some fresh red Maple leaves
and leaves of the New Dawn Rose
in between the layers
This morning I opened the package
Aaaaaah : só promising when still wet ...
and I immediately rolled another one and added some new onion skins
So sorry that the Maple leaves almost disappeared
just some vague bluish colour ...

Then it really was about time
to start my (April !) felting-exchange piece !
(something funny happening with the making-of pics so only this finished one)
The theme was "spirals"
(and I used the requested colours)
When it's dry it will come your way Judith !
Love the felt piece...love everything you're doing!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwell, the leaves left an imprint which is nice. sometimes if you leave the bundle wrapped for weeks, you might get different results. i've never used maple leaves but i get good results with oak leaves. love the 3D felt.
