The Last one I Promise

I promise this will be the last one---I used a lace motif for the back petals and then 3 different sized calico ones on top of that.
I have glued the centre coil again but I used a finer fabric this time which was a big improvement.
I hate letting a technique get the better of me so I just persisted until it worked.
I cut out 2 green leaves from felt fabric and have just placed them under the flower for effect.





Here is the flower without the leaves--What do you think?
Which one looks the best?




That's it --no more I promise.

These are gorgeous Doreen, I love the subtlety of the one without the leaves, but both would look sensational on a jacket lapel.

No need to stop as far as I'm concerned....I love seeing them! I like the leaves. It gives it just the right touch.

I don't believe for one minute that you won't be making any more of these beauties. I prefer it without the leaves as to me they are too well defined, maybe if the edges were less sharp. Good job we are all different!

Thanks for your very kind comments Doreen. These are just great flowers. You'll laugh, I made one two and plan to make more next week. Cheers.

Doreen, your shabby chic roses are beautiful. I like the one with the leaves best - they seem to finish it off.
