I can no longer promise that I will no longer do flower boards chiri-men style! I'm addicted. This and paper crafting could just do me in. Blogging doesn't help. Time, I need TIME. And energy. Time and energy.
This is my attempt at clematis. My neighbor has the most beautiful clematis vine growing outside our kitchen window, so I had to try to memorialize it in fabric.
For those of you who don't care about 5th quarter arm-chair quarterbacking, quit reading. For those of you who do, read on, intrepid ones:
I found steam-a-seamII. I mean, I re-found it in my quilt stash and used that to stabilize the backs of the "flat" petals and the tendrils. Worked pretty slick. I still need to get more depth in these, 
but I'm working on it. Stabilizing really, really helped. Maybe I will use Pellon or something for the gluing down bits. Dunno yet. I need to figure out how I am gonna do stamens/pistols and the whole re-generational bits of the flowers. But, I left them out rather than make it way too complicated.
