I'm envious and wished I lived closer to you so you could show me how!
Thank you so mucb Tiffany! Really appreciate your kind words! Yes, the roses are tiny - most of the largest ones are around 2 inches. The smallest rose is 1-1/2 inches. Yes, I dyed the thread! ha! I do everything with paint, acrylics, watercolor pigma pens that artists use. I even used brown magic marker once on old wooden floors! hahaha. It completely covered my repair job with wood putty that no one even knows it was brown magic marker!!! Blended right in with the stain. I have the pigma pens in every color so you can color anything w/them as permanent markers and great for fabric, etc. I had the ribbon all picked out to make this a 3-D mini, but forgot all about it in the end when there was no room left for the bow. So glad you enjoyed my :wink: mini! :wink: :lol: :wink:
