My Flower Garden

I have been working with my new spring colors and have been loving my growing garden. The pale yellows, soft pinks, bright oranges, soothing lavenders and on and on. They are so gorgeous tucked into your hair. I'm working on more little rose hair pins, too, but for now I wanted to show you my growing garden.

Here is the first round of brooches based on the pink peony. I did deviate a little on color choices because I love all the colors. Although I was going for pink, I must admit my favorite was the dark burgundy brooch. Although, the chartreuse was a close second.

I'm very happy with my final brooches. Maybe someday I'll share with you those that didn't turn out quite so good. The experiments gone awry as it were... hmmm maybe not. That would be TOO embarrassing.

I hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving....now off to bed to prepare for Lollishops opening tomorrow! Yay. look for me there as www.lollishops.com/amie-blooms. (try again later if it doesn't work. I may not be fully operational yet).

My newest inspiration. The pink peony. Could a flower be more lovely? I am working on a pattern to emulate this gorgeous creation. So far, they all fall flat, but I'm tweaking and testing. It will be a Lollishops Exclusive! Back to work now.
