Every now and again I love to try something new. I did make a promise to Si, that I would find my craft and stick to it, but sometime the lure of something new is just too strong. I justify my breaking this promise, with the fact that I am making flowers. I love to crochet flowers, make fabric flowers, so making flowers in a new way is just an extension of what I am already doing, not really something new! Right? I am a massive fan of the incredibly talented Gina B (it is thanks to Gina B that I make finger braid) so when I heard the she had ganutell flowers kits, I knew that I had to give them a try. I think the main reason I am such a fan of Gina B, is that she love heritage craft with a modern twist. I also love, loVE, LOVE history: so what could be better than ganutell – history, making and flowers – what’s not to love? What is ganutell? I hear you ask. Ganutell is a flowers made from coiled wire shaped into flower petals with thread wrapped over the wire. I’ll show you…
I am sooooo happy with how these turned out: I can see a new addiction coming on…
