Magnolia, lovely.

I've got a mountain of A_B_C_D_E's to write.
Crunching data.
And the progress on the Sow's Ear a.k.a the school garden's stalled.
 And this Kookaburra's been a daily visitor, since the ground was dug up.
Hopeful.
But I still have time to fashion frippery.
Based on C's magnolia.
 An interpretation.
In white, papery, silk tafetta.


This version's got a hand-dyed re-purposed fringe trim for stamens.

In progress.

Against the shower curtain.
I know, who would have thought?
 


Enjoy your week.
And thank you for the well-wishes for the blog mascot.
He's on the mend.

    1. I agree, the curtain makes a great backdrop! Mr Fascinata picked it out. :) ! Kookaburra's one of our indigenous species. Xx
