And now for something completely different … for two lovely hours carved out of the end-of-term madness I was lucky to learn the basics of paper flower making from the very lovely Jo Neville of Paper Couture fame. Jo was an excellent instructor and we finished the class with 3 handmade paper flowers.

Just quietly, I think I may need just a tiny bit more practice before I gain any skills in this craft. 🙂

It did inspire me to find out more about paper flower making. There are some truly beautiful and inspirational bouquets made just from paper. I love it.
