I like to tear up silk flowers. It's easy. It's liberating. It's legal. (Well, it is legal if you do it in private, completely sober, with all your clothes on.) And, it's inspiring.
This is the third time I've been inspired by tearing up silk flowers. You can check out the other two times *here* and *here*.
And here... I made a Fall pillow for my Mom. She loves Fall
with lots of Fall doo-dads.
Here are some how-to pictures:
And some of the pretty vignettes my Mother has created for Fall...
Happy Fall!

I love your mothers fall vignettes. The pillow is great. I wonder how well it would do with hot glue? I am sewing impaired lol~
ReplyDeleteI'm with Chrissie. I'm not actually sewing impaired - I'm 'retired'.
ReplyDeleteLove the vignettes. Hey, wait . . . I spied a mural in there. Does your mother paint too?
Dear Lindy: Now I see where your talent comes from - your Mom's house is gorgeous. Love her vignettes - she's got the golden touch. Your use of the silk leaves is so original - love what you've created with them - one-of-a-kind! Have a great day ~ Lisa@SuburbanRetreat
ReplyDeleteI love the fall vignettes!! I will be scouring around blogland for lots of ideas for my new home!! It should be built in about three months!! I am so excited!
ReplyDeleteSo creative! Love all the fall decorations. Your stemware glasses are beautiful.

Lindy- It is just beautiful. I LOVE those glasses (holding candles) with the leaves on them-they are gorgeous. The one thing, too, that really popped out at me is that picture of peaches. It is peaches, isn't it? It is a lovely picture. Great job with everything- Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pillow!! I wish I could sew! Thanks for taking thyme to stop by and leave a comment!
ReplyDeleteHappy Painting and until next thyme...
Karen
Such a pretty idea! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of cutting up fall florals/leaves - it IS so liberating! To think, for years, I left them as is in their pre-formed bunches! The possibilities are endless when you separate them as shown by the lovely pillow you made! The fall vignettes/displays of your mom's are terrific! Love the rooster one the best!
ReplyDeleteDD
Very pretty idea, and how easy to make a cushion like this, love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd and love your wall mural and all the decor of that console table, its my favourite... very lovely...

As soon as I saw this pillow at BCD, I thought, "that looks like my friend, Lindy's work!" Another fine job, girl!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE this! I'm wondering how it would look if the leaves were all tumbled to one corner, as if they'd been blown there? Have to try it!

ReplyDeleteHeredity or environment? Nature or nurture? You and your mom only add to the confusion!
ReplyDeleteSusan
