Flower Lady

This pretty lady is so feminine and serene. I'm sure her name must be Abigail. I love the way ladies wore those gorgeous hats dripping with flowers in the 1800's & early 1900's, mind you, they had big boofy hair to put them on. And doesn't she make a lovely spring picture? I can imagine her going out to pick a bouquet to take to her friend.

The image is coloured with Reno pens, flowers are punched. The lovely lacy edge is punched.

Thanks

I am a silver haired wife, mother of four, and nonna of eight, living in Hamilton, New Zealand. I come from a long line of crafters, both men and women.

I love working with paper and fabric, so on my blog you will see both aspects of my work. I don't seem to have a specific style (too easily distracted) but I do like to get inky with stamps and colour!

I hope you will enjoy the variety, and maybe be inspired to try something for yourself.

Thanks for looking at my blog. It would be great if you left a message as I always appreciate your comments.

Please respect my creativity and use only for personal inspiration. Please do not use my work or publish without my consent. Thank you, Carol
