Australian Natives and Gumnut Blossom Babies!


After making the Australian Native flowers a few weeks ago I decided that I'd try to make the Gumnut Blossom Babies that May Gibbs made so popular in her illustrations (this is my interpretation of them). I Demonstrated these to a group of 54 ladies yesterday, it was so much fun although my throat was sore by the end of the day! I now have a new respect for teachers!!! = )


The flowers are Gumnut Blossoms and Grevillea with Gum Leaves and gumnuts. The base board is marked with a new impression mat I bought a few weeks ago.



There were also 3 other demonstrators, each showed a different icing technique. One was flood work then there was air brushing and we were also shown how to make daffodills. Such a great day!!!
