Poppies

I don't have any photos of the first stages, but basically what I did was to cut out rough circles in red fabric and covered them with Americana Fabric Stiffener which is transparent. I then draped each one over a little pot and scrunched the edges. This is them after they have dried. I also coated some string too.

I painted some tiny polystyrene balls with black shimmer dazzling metallic paint.

I wanted a canvas but didn't have one the right shape, but I did manage to find a box that one of Martins ski tops came in. I painted it with deep turquoise and apple green multi surface paint.

Once the balls were dry I glued them into clumps.

And finally my finished piece. I'm hoping you can see poppies.
