Cactus Flower

I sewed a piece of knitted scrap into a flower-ring shape, added needlefelted details, some delicata and bugle beads, needle felted a stem and then a flower pod/bud, against adding further details by needlefelting, then sewed a pin back on.  The camera doesn’t capture the dew-like sparkle of the many clear beads on the flower.  The entire process took about three hours, start to finish, but that was using a piece of pre-knitted scrap I had in the box.  I’m fast, but not THAT fast. :-)

Here’s the back - see the gold pinback in the center of the flower?

And another angle, showing the overall composition

 So whadd’ya think?  I enjoyed myself, so of course it was worth the time and effort involved.
