Challenge : Spring

The challenge of the European Street Team for this week is from palepink and is called "Spring".

Here where I live, the winter aconite is number two every February: snowdrops poke their little heads through the snow a week earlier. But with their intense yellow optimism, the winter aconites make the picture complete; they are the true forbodes of spring. I really love that bright yellow and green flower !

Inspired by this lovely flower, I made a brooch of one large vintage green button in the middle with lots of small yellow buttons sewn around it (with yellow embroidery floss). Everything is topped off with one lime green shank button and a green synthetic velvety fabric leaf.

Challenge : Wasps

Wow, I am the winner of our weekly European Street Team challenge; Star of the East made me the happy one. I am now the "boss" for this week !
The original idea came from Kreativlink, the idea was to get us motivated to create new things.
I will collect the entries here in this post, can't wait to see them!


This weeks challenge is...

WASPS !!

They are everywhere at the moment and in great numbers; zooming and trying to get some of my food. So let the inspiration free; it does not have to be a wasp, you can be inspired by its colours, its eyes, the fear for them, etc.
