Lavender blooms...
you can't see the individual lavender buds,
until the background is punched.

This is the back of my Punch Needle project.
When I have a lot of little details, 
I will leave my Perle Cotton 'tails',
just a little bit longer.  The details are
actually easier to punch around, when the 'tail' is longer,
because you can easily hold it back with a finger,
while you punch.

There is nothing that says "warm weather"
quite like a lilac in bloom.
This lilac is about 60 years old 
and smells so heavenly.
Not to mention that gorgeous color !

  3. As always Rose, beautiful work. You talent never ceases to amaze me. Funny aside, when the photo of the back of your work scrolled through my screen I was a little surprised thinking you had started working in another direction, maybe modern or abstracts! Even the back looks good!!!
