thankyou no i didn't hand paint the flowers, I printed them onto the fabric using real flowers and a hammer to bash the dye from the flowers into the fabric. 2nd try at posting, hope it works this time

Very lovely!! :D Was it easy to
hammer the real flowers onto
your fabric? It turned out just
wonderful!!

no. best to do a trial first, using different thicknesses of material. I found that a medium weight white cotton best.
also try different flowers as some are too dry, these don't come through, and some are too juicy, these bleed into material and smudge.
1. a surface you can use a hammer on
2. lay a peice of (white) material on surface, to blot any excess dye
3. lay another peice of white material on top of the first peice of material, to print on
4. place flower you wish to print on top of all that and another peice of material over all of that and start hammering firm but gently
Do 1 flower at a time. We did this when we were kids hope you like it.

Gorgeous, love what you did with the real flowers. I'll bet all kinds of leaves would look super, too! They are both lovely.
