Lesson for Monday

Here is Monday's lesson, yet another Australian Native, the Bottlebrush.....a lot more involved than I remembered, so maybe we may not get it all done in one lesson, but I hope so, if not, we will finish the following week, plus make a smaller flower.  All the shapes have to be folded, shaped and painted, and then assembled on to a "calyx" so it is very labour intensive.  The better news is I am sooo much better this week, I have had a great week with my family, we have been and done so many things, one of them being Whale watching at Port Stephens, we were lucky to see a number of whales, but none of them did the breeching for us, but we saw quite a few Tails!!!  Please excuse the quality of the picture, I am not having any luck lately with my camera.

Beautiful flower Jenni, it looks stunning on that background.
I hope the ladies have fun doing this one.
I'm amazed you found the time to sit and get this done with your family over.

Jenni this is so pretty! I can't imagine how long it must take to make it, but so worthwhile! Beautiful work as always!!!
