I am not so good but fun to do.

Many days painting in watercolors, I really love it!

It was so much fun to make this piece as I used a piece of fabric that I painted long time ago,

and made the felting on top, adding some lace at the bottom. I reminds me of my Gramma,

Mormor in Swedish, she always had flowers on a vase on her table. Good memories!
