 Evy's Favorite Flowers Corsage
Sweet yet elegant, this beautiful silk velvet, chiffon and organza flower corsage may be used as a lapel adornment just as it is or you can remove the rose or pansy and wear them as single flowers! When they are not gracing your collar these flowers can be showcased on a pillow, purse, storage box or even framed. Various silks are needle felted onto a sturdy base to create the background for the blooms. Tender violets, pearl beads, silk ribbon and fine lace further enhance the corsage. This pre-day class will be taught in the upcoming July Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion. Kit includes all the supplies plus a CD with the instructions and embroidery designs to make the rose, violets and pansy.
