Different types of folded flowers

Since coming back from Japan last month I've been busy unpicking kimono and making thousands, well it seems like thousands, of fabric flowers.  Every day and sometimes at night I'm tucked away in my home office having a great time with all my new fabric.

This weekend I was supposed to go away with my husband to the family farm but I've come down with the dreaded lurgy so I'm home alone as not to spread the infection plus I'm not the best patient to be around.  More time to make flowers!

In my fabric stash was some amazing bright blue oriental brocade and I made different types of fabric flowers out of it.
The top two are the standard ones I make with either five or six rounded petals.  The ones on the bottom are folded differently and the flower has a pointed petal and is much larger even though the same amount of fabric is used as the rounded petal flower.  I wore one out the other day to one of my stockists and they loved it and have ordered some.  Woohoo!

Whatever you're doing this long weekend I hope you're having fun.  Cheers.
