Here in Italy today it's been very hot and sunny. I'm not one for hot weather, feeling hot and sticky for me is a horrible sensation, If I sunbathe I get burnt and get a skin irratation too.........time for me to hibernate !!!!! LOL.
Here is a foto of some flowers that I have made over the years. Some are made with beads using the french and victorian beaded methods. The others are made using the Ganutell method which is using very fine wire and rayon floss spun together and then worked onto a thicker wire. Ganutell is popular in Malta there is a wonderful lady called MARIA KERR, and on her website she explains the history of Ganutell and has some wonderful photos, her work is to die for. I hope one day to be even 1% as good as her.
These are the only flowers or plants that survive when I'm around........artificial ones..!!!!!!!!!! I don't have green fingers and nearly everything dies rather than be handled and cared for by me. How I admire all those people who photograph their wonderful flowers and plants in their gardens and then share them with us on their blogs.
Off to cool down

Hi Joan,
Thanks for the email. Your flowers are GORGEOUS!!! WOW...these are just beautiful. Thanks for the link too. Very facinating and absolutely stunning! You asked if I made the ones that I posted with my dresses, no I found them at an estate sale:)

Wish we had estate sales here in Italy. Have to be content with flea markets with sky high prices......way way overpriced.
