Cherry blossoms #4
The blossoms were created using a familiar technique called double wall quilting, where two pieces of fabric are sandwich together to create a thin area which is then embellished with decorative stitching. After this process was completed I moved onto the petals using a netting mesh that I found at my local craft store (a dollar store actually) and painted it with fabric dye. The petals turned out beautifully and were nice and stiff, creating a high quality cherry blossom petal.
