Beads and threads

Inspired by all the little things have this photo inspiration

 

 

Once, a very long time ago, I was a bridesmaid who did wear navy. I thought it was a very odd colour choice when I was first told about it but it was stunning in reality. We wore pale pink and not these brightly coloured flowers. The photos were lovely too. The dark colour really made the bride stand out.

 

Here is my interpretation. I decided against incorporating the navy after all.

 

These are little cards and the thread used is embroidery thread. I used 4 threads at a time.

May all your weeds be wild flowerst

My garden is looking a bit like the sentiment on this card at the moment. We haven't had much rain as we are in the middle of a drought but the little that we have had has certainly made my grass grow like wild flowers. Am going to have to spend some time in there soon.
