Just looking throught to see what may be of interest,
I have my favourite flower,

one balloon gun,
large man on bike, easy'ish to make or
love birds in a cage.

Those are the choices for this month,

Hi Graham,

your flower, or the doll/princess, would be nice.

Hope to see you at the Eurojam this year.

It looks like the flower was most popular, I will make it again over the next couple of days and put pictures up of side view and rear to help.

A few more pictures to see the construction of the flower hopefully a little easier, this one is two 260's.

And this one has a 160 stem which I think proportionally looks better. On the last picture you can add the ends of the 260's into the centre of the flower, it maybe adds a little?

Hi Graham

I have been doing a similar flower for ages, out of just one 260. I don't know where I got the idea from.....probably you showed me  :D  :D  :D

These are a couple of pics. It works really well in gold, as a golden anniversary bouquet. I have done that quite a few times.

I love the first picture, the colours look really nice together, is that colour in the centre ivory ?? I have never used that colour before. I will try and make it in two colours, with the sticky out bits tomorrow.
Kind regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin, yes it is Ivory makes for a suttle change.
I think your flower is a slightly different design, it looks like a 6 petal with every other petal twisted at a 45 degree angle inside the next.
This picture is a few years old and the design is on my DVD two, "Flowers" so from a few years ago now. Did you notice the crafty little plug there that I got in ;)

Well Graham, I couldn't get that darn Pink Panther but I do like this Flower.  Thanks and I'll be awaiting instructions to see what I might have done wrong.
