Gum Tree Blossom

I was at the Abbotsford Convent Maker's Market today, slightly hungover without deserving to be, when I looked down and found this pretty little gum tree blossom. I thought it so pretty that I wanted to recreate it with my felt and thread and make it into a brooch, and so I did.


I love the exotic looking plants and flowers and blossoms here in Australia, some are quite extraordinary looking.


Now I'm going to see Mama Mia with Christina so I'd better get on my bike and dash.
