I appreciated the abundance and simplicity of this flower and, of course, I wanted to integrate it into my jewels. First time, I used the flowers exactly as they dried out, without any personal touch.
I have to be honest and admit that I wanted something more from this flower ... I love simplicity, but at the same time I knew there's more potential in it.
The perfect shape seemed to need something more... diversity.
So I chose the colors!
These flowers can be easily dyed, using food coloring and rubbing alcohol!
Little simple things are just beautiful as they are, and a little artistic touch that can bring more colors and smiles is always welcome!
I hope you like this idea and the most colorful jewelry I've made!
