Silky Soft Kimono

Just before Christmas a parcel of vintage Kimono pieces arrived and it didn't take me long to start creating.  I love receiving packages in the mail, it takes me about an hour to go through each piece and admire the beauty of the design.  Here's a lovely silky soft Kimono piece....

And here's the finished flower.  This one was made to order for a wonderful friend in Brisbane who said it was gorgeous and she'd wear it on Christmas Day.  

Today I'm home alone and guess what I'm doing?  Making cherry blossom flowers - so exciting!!  I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and all the best for 2012.  If it's anything like 2011 I'm in for a fun and busy year....bring it on.
