...and then, there's ME! His polar opposite! He just shakes his head when he enters my workshop. Take my flame fashioned organza flowers for instance. I like to purchase fabric because it "calls me", not because I have a project in mind. It sits and ages until we get to know each other well enough to become creative partners. This beautiful rainbow organza decided to take on a new life as beautiful blossoms.
I assisted by cutting and applying the heat. I allow each petal to mold itself, holding it gently near the flame as it twists and curls into a petal or leaf. Then I mix and match the petals until we are all happy with each other and I have a bouquet!
I'll add beads or button centers as they come into full bloom. I'll sew or glue each blossom into a pin, hairclip, pillow accent, or bookmark so that it can find it's useful place in society. After all this interaction, I'm sad each time one of my babies leaves me for it's new home. .... and once again, Dear Husband just shakes his head.
