Coming on to Rain or Rain Clearing?

Here are some views of the sky which will no doubt be familiar to those of you who are in the UK right now. 

These photos were taken yesterday evening but it is sky I have seen a lot recently.  That is unless the sky is grey all over and there is rain pouring from it.

Inspired by the colours, I have made a set of buttons, or at least I have made 3 of them so far.  These are them. I have altered the background colour slightly as it was coming up blue (for some reason the light is so bad at the moment!) but these are the colours of the buttons. Grey, blue, white.  Sometimes there is more blue sky, sometimes more white cloud, and sometimes more grey cloud. Rain clearing or coming on to rain?

Flowers in the Rain

Ok not that much rain, just a little bit. Other than that it is a dull, dull day.  So how about a lovely bright flower brooch to brighten up your day.

It is made out of lovely, bright, warming mustard yellow, and brown tweed fabric.  I love this combination.

This is the latest in the new range of flower brooches that I am making.  I like 'em big and bold!

I have looked at the flowers and designed them from scratch. This one is a Polyanthus. or Primrose.

I have also made some Day Lily brooches.

I have modelled the last two but 1) I am a rubbish model, and 2) They don't look quite right on my coat.  So as soon as the sun comes out a bit more and I find a nice black jacket, I will take some more photos.

All available from my etsy shop now.
