Look what's Blooming! ~ Silhouette Challenge

"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;" ~ Song of Solomon 2:12

I'm keeping it simple this month...my project is the first of what I intend to be several to decorate my space...but I only had time to make the one before I had to pack up my craft room to move to a new house!



I used this design from the Silhouette store, and cut it out at about 8 inches. I live in the southwest, and love, love, love the work of Georgia O'Keefe, and how her super large flowers look fabulous. I assembled the flower according to the designer's instructions and glued it onto a 12" canvas that I had painted with a bright turquoise...that's it!




The plan is to make about six and hang them on the upper cabinet that faces the breakfast room...so that I can have spring year-round! I'll spare you the picture of the lonely panel on the expanse of cupboard!
