Svetlana has a lot of great examples with different fabrics like linen, wild silk, and velvet. You can even choose what material you want for the backside of your design based on your chosen fabric. You can customize the stamens by picking your color, size, or metallic finish. If you like, you can use fabric from your clothes to make the flowers match your outfit perfectly and look fresh as a daisy. The design can be realistic or fanciful, depending on your preference.
Here are just some of the fabrics you can use to create your beautiful flowers: linen is made naturally from flax. It has a fabulous texture that sets it apart. Wild silk, on the other hand, is a little more rugged than cultivated silk and comes in all sorts of colors and textures. Velvet is a luxurious fabric with a short pile on one side. As for cotton, it's a winner because it's breathable and easy to care for. Denim is a tough fabric that's dyed with indigo and is perfect for all sorts of clothes.
Svetlana has an excellent online course that teaches you how to make gorgeous 3D floral jewelry using different types of denim and cotton fabrics. You'll learn how to transform old textiles into beautiful accessories, like a brooch and a corsage. It's a great way to give a new life to old fabrics and make some dazzling wearable pieces.
