Winter flower mashing

I got into a bit of flower smashing last week and I am really happy with the results. Our garden is full of beautiful flowers through Winter which makes the cold days feel a little brighter. I love the unpredicted results the mashed flowers leave on the fabric. Each time I discover new & wonderful results with different seasonal flowers. Looking back at the last flowers I smashed in Spring they are quite different from the results here. This smashed flower fabric was used in a bundle of Ruffle Scarves sent to our new wholesaler Ivy & Bird in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane! Which we are very excited about. I will show you the results of the Ruffle scarves in our next post!

Spring flower mashing

It was just one of the beautiful Spring days yesterday... a teaser of things to come! The garden is full of all the old fashion flowers at the moment.. daisies, geraniums and lavender. No better time then to do some 'seasonal' flower mashing' fabrics for our ruffle scarves.  I love the unexpected results. This batch came out with lots of blues and fluro yellows imprinted on the fabric. It always seems a shame to cut the fabric up for scarves... but the result is worth it! I have been thinking they would make cute summer singlets. What do you think?
