Dahlia Flower Pin


Dahlia petals spring forth with light
To guide us through the darkest night.
Dahlia's Delight by William Schmidt

I am in serious love with this flower pin.  I won't lie, though.  It was time consuming to make this.  I have a template now, so it won't be AS hard to make next time. 
I first spied this pin at Not Martha.  If you click on her links, she gives an AMAZING tutorial on how to make this.  I didn't even attempt to make a tutorial since she did such a great one.

I am HORRIBLE at taking mirror pictures--thus the lack of pictures of myself on my blog.  I tried having my 5 year old take the picture and, let's just say, photography is not in his future.   Anyway, I apologize about the camera showing--you get the gist as to the size and look of the pin.

  4. Fun self portrait. The mirror shots are not as easy to capture as they look. Nice job.
