Challenge 47: Work with flowers - artificial or real, live or dried, picked or bought.
So I have this wreath that a coworker made from wild grape vines growing in her yard. I really like grape vine wreathes, possibly only for the nostalgia of my mom cutting wild vines and making wreathes a lot when I was a kid. The wreath I have hanging in my apartment now has been decorated with different ornaments - dried flowers, toy spiders, handmade birds and flowers that I've made from felt, and other embellishments. Here it is!

I've made several felt flowers before and usually attach them to hats I've made or sew a pipe cleaner on the back and bunch them together in a vase. I sold one this summer to a boy who wrapped it in the button hole on his coat, rendering it a sweet boutonniere - I loved that idea! Here are close-ups of the flowers on the wreath:
I love the look of flowers, and really dig the funky blue poinsettias you can get at the store during this time of year - so pretty!
The end!
