Flowers

I really enjoy creatimg 'scenery' for my dolls. These are 'silk' flowers scavenged from thrift store floral arrangements. A few samples are shown below.

I choose the arrangements with a variety of flower sizes, mostly small to medium, but as you can see, the big ones come along for the ride. Be sure to 'air dust' and decontaminate thrift store stuff.

The flowers on the left center are 'rubbery' plastic, similiar to those on the early Mattel 'Dream Houses'.

The yellow, orange, and red flowers on the right center were purchased from a craft store 90 percent off 'Fall Colors' sale. Ordinarily, craft store silk flowers are priced way beyond my budget.

Sometimes, I just buy to decorate.
