Overjoyed rose petal prints 玫瑰玫瑰我愛你





Nice good day !



These days really overjoyed with rose, not only the rose leaves delight me as usual, the petals are surprisingly with color and outlines with my way of printing.
   Pictures speak themselves........





















It's pretty to frame it or make a card, isn't it?
Sending you my dear readers these images.  Have a nice day !
If you like to make it yourself, my pdf instant download tutorial is available in ETSY.

Mum & girl on Mother's Day 無欲無求 = "自在媽媽"


Today's Mother'd Day.  Wish all mothers a happy day. 
I told my children I'm easy going, I do not need any special treats on the day. My daughter Jas Came with me to show off my wearables is more than happy.  Ah....... no one objects me ! Today's my day.
Early in the morning my son drove us to the South to take some shots of the nuno felt dress I just made - I call this "Rosy Dress". 
今日母親節, 早上郊遊, 女兒可以為我的製作展示及送我這些布料多做點設計已是最好不過 ! 今天 Jas 穿的是 nuno felt 純絲雪紡長裙,上身以碎雪紡做成玫瑰花質感, 輕且飄逸,就是我的 "玫瑰花" 長裙。
Arrived Tai Tam Tuk 
We both in the nuno felt wearables - one-piece chiffon base. 

Top is of crinkle chiffon to make the textural suface
Airy in the summer breeze 





V in the front and back

After some shots we went to the Waterfall Bay 
 Hubby took the shots
Girl, thanks for the nice shots.  You made me a good day.

The nuno felt dress is made with silk chiffon base,  crinkle scraps on the top for textural look. 
Some scraps are the eco prints I made with rose leaves.  That's what I called "rosy dress".

The back is with some silk strings I degummed and strips of color chiffon.

Oh, Mogi you spoilt my design !  He's always spoilt - he's the king !  No way.

Some leaves dipped in iron water and boiled for an hour to make the green shades.

Nuno felt dress 羊毛混絲裙子

Adorable? Mogi or the little dress?
可愛嗎 ? 何是最最可愛?
一件手作無縫小女孩裙子就是最可愛!  以羊毛混絲的表面立體紋理及混入蠶絲線的閃亮效果正是我所要的, 這小裙子簡單清純, 我不打算做植物印染了, 算是一件花女的裙子也不錯 !  
To keep my creativity juice flowing, I like to play again with nuno felt dress.  I got a scrap of white silk chiffon that's enough for a little girl. 
I made it with the base of chiffon. 18-mic merino wool and silk strings. The nuno felt textural surface is what I wanted. 
Close up -  chiffon texture and lustrous silk strings.

These silk strings are such good look on white. 
The silk strings were wrongly ordered in the first instance. I thought they're soft and ready to use.  When I received the pack I realised they're rough and hard as jute.  After searched internet got the idea to degum it myself then I dyed some with Strobilanthes cusia, some with onion skin. 

All look wonderful. Love to play with these strings. Particularly white one doen't need to dye and goes well with anything. 
Fun to play and quick to finish this little dress.  No idea what to do with it as I've no little girl around. How big is it? Thought it fits a girl of 1 - 2 years old. 
See the proportion with Mogi you'll get it.  Little dresses are always adorable.   This one I'm not going to do with eco print.  Just keep it pure.
