Poppies in Fabric -and the Beginning of our Winter at Heron's Way

Mannie has done a number of flowers in her fabric art.  Over the last few days I have seen her working on poppies.

Here Mannie hand painted the poppies onto silk.

Mannie cut out poppy petals from ultra suede and added the dark area with a permanent Sharpie.  Anything goes.

Now she is experimenting with stitches and has written her findings onto a swatch.

Over the next while we will see what happens.  This process of experimenting happens often and at other times she just wades into the fray and lets what happens happen serendipitously.

And then the snow fell and covered everything.  

Good grief!! 

Winter is here at Heron's Way in Waldemar, Ontario.
