Loomy Bunmi Flowers
I can’t adhere to a TV show watching schedule, so I love my DVR. I had not watched some of the latest American Idol wonders and blunders, and decided that I wanted to watch the show. I saw the Milwaukee show. I was finishing dinner with my family, and I see this pretty lady wearing the cutest flower on her hair. Then… like magic, a fire lit me up… and I just HAD to make some loomed flowers.
First I started with this… (It is a little blurry as my camera wouldn’t focus properly for this portion of the shot… No worries, this will be resolved soon…) Anyway… I felt the springy blue in the air.. and started with blue.
Then, I felt that it needed something else…
And now it was time to begin to seal the flower… These are some shots that I took to give you an idea of how much love and yarn went into it.
And then…. it of course has to have a great center….. Why not add a cowrie shell? Sure… responded my creative mind… and voila… this is what comes out.
I loved it so much that I felt that it had to be a model. So the flower went to a photo shoot.
Then I felt that the flower was lonely… so…
I began to make it a friend… and… here is the friend…
And of course, then the flower friend wanted to model too… So who am I to say no to a cute flower?
I am so excited to share this with all of you. I haven’t decided where they will show off their wonderfulness. A hat? A headband? a bag? A scarf?
