Gathering flowers

When there are more hours of daylight,

every day a little longer,

when bushes and trees are growing buds and sprouts,

my mind wanders off to fields of flowers.

And I'm waiting for Spring to arrive.

This year I'm looking forward to some new experiments.

I'd love to try my hands on natural dyeing

of my fabrics and laces.

So I'm looking forward to gathering flowers

for splashes of colours.

Above a sprouting Hydrangea. Can't wait to see those blooming again!
I spotted this one in the garden of the castle (or mason) from my previous post.

Back to my fabrics and projects. Up till now I only dyed my fabrics and laces with paint.

On the card above there are watercolour paints, on the card below I used acrylic paint.

Two completely different cards.

But both romantic and of course with flowers.

I couldn't live without.

Both cards are for dear blog friends. The first one goes to Alice, together with the giveaway booklet she won. The second card found its way to dear Ros, who had her birthday in January.
