Homage to Dr. Seuss

I made another pile of small flowers for earrings.

When you make these you have to make a couple of extra petals for each pair.
Photobucket
because when you re-introduce them into the flame they sometimes blow up in your tweezers.

These blue ones were especially cool, until they broke.
I used an encased blue and white twistie to make each petal.

When I was done with all the little pairs I had a pile of spare flower petals.
Photobucket
I used them to make one, big fanciful bloom which reminds me of a Dr. Seuss flower.

It's about 2" long.

We are so, so close to spring!

I adore the pink ones. I will get back at soon.
Miss you.
