Buttercup

Do you like butter? This buttercup actually glows under your chin like a real one. Well, it does if you like butter! A few years ago my lawn was covered in buttercups, it couldn't have looked more beautiful.

Made completely by hand using up-cycled vintage fabric. Carefully cut petals (trying not lose a millimetre of this precious timeworn fabric) and tiny thread stamen detail. I love the 'scar' on this one. A tiny puncture showing signs of the vintage fabrics previous life. I like to imagine it's a real buttercup and an insect has had a cheeky nibble.

Flower head: measures approximately 2cm
Wire stem is approximately 15cm
