all a’ bloom
Flowers. I’ve been on a flower spree. The flower canes I’ve seen over the years are stunning. As much as I admire the process (I have made a few), others have perfected the art. I shy away from areas others do so very well. 
These are made using polymer clay for the sepals and stems. The blooms? Tshirts! 
The pebbles are also polymer clay. The stone effect comes from reducing canes to a tiny repeat.
Jacks-in-the-pulpit also hit my fancy. These are all clay!
The copper leafs are from Artbeads. They are Copper Ivy Leafy Prickly Pendants and are just lovely. I put groups of 3 on a length of 20g copper wire with a few twists for tendril effects.
I received the copper leafs as a promotional item from Artbeads and am quite pleased with the quality. I have a few additional leafs. Leave a comment and I’ll choose a reader to receive a small gift!!!

How clever are these flowers. Great way to recycle those worn out t-shirts. I adore the Jacks-in-the-pulpits. We have them in our woods here and I have for years tried to get them to grow in pots. Without luck I might add. Great job Valarie.
I L -O- V- E these!!!
I'm smiling A Great BIG smile on the other side of my computer screen ! You have your hands in clay again;) !!!
Your work has a wonderful wow factor! Those tee shirt blossoms are TOO COOL!!!
What great possibilities for texture and color.
This design makes rips ,stains and fading a real bonus ! That big stripy Jack-in-the-pulpit is a eye catcher too !
