Poppies, poppies everywhere....

I've finally just finished my poppy orders. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. The petals are made with felt I have wet felted to get the changes in colour, although this doesn't show up that well in the photos. The centres are needle felted & the leaves are cut felt that has been needle felted. Then they are finished off with pearl cotton stamens and stitched accents, with a brooch back.

It's only after I have taken these pictures have I realised how hard it is to get 'reds' to look true. They all look a bit tomato red, but in reality they are more of a dark crimson.
