Rag Corsage....

As I was ripping up fabric for my next project, a rag garland to go in my little store at Vintage Village, I started thinking back to the day when I would make Whit the most beautiful hairbows! Now, when Whitney went to school, it was amazing that her little head could carry these bows! As most of my readers know by now, when I say hairbow, I should just go ahead and say a spewing, beautiful, colorful volcano! The more vibrant the color, the better I liked it. The more eccentric the design, I said.... The better it looked! I have never been one to draw the line...... I go way over the line. I like big and bold as well as living big and bold!
Anyways and anywho back to my design story.... As I was shredding the fabric I thought this may work for a corsage for a bridal shower, flower pin for one eccentric shopkeeper or another item to put into my little store. As I worked, turned the fabric, hand sewed the somewhat straight line to pull the flower into shape, I started seeing my the thought in my somewhat sleepy head (did not go to bed last night because I am go excited) come into the beautiful blossom of a peony.. Yes, it was a peony. I could not leave it as a simple white peony. This peony has to shine with glitter and pearls. And it had to tell as story ~

As an artist we have the opportunity to DREAM big!

In doing so, many times we are

able to INSPIRE others around us!

And to me that means that God is looking down over me, GIGGLING at my "big, bold and obnoxious flower"

and saying~

Child, well done!

You serve me well in what You have done today!

And with that,

I know I have been good to the day ..... If there is enough inquiries on how this was put together,

I will post the instructions tomorrow!
