It's not uncommon for me to add or subtract elements to a piece as I go along.
In my original design I had blue Hydrangea, but I subtracted that out and added a blue Clematis vine.
The thread work will be added once the flowers and leaves are attached, right now they are only pinned and look sort of plain and rough.
I had yellow daisy type flowers and thought I needed something extra. So, I invented and added a blue daisy. Again, all the thread detail needs to be added and that is why you can still see all the rough edges.
I thought a little bird would be a nice addition, I sketched one out on paper and pinned him on so I wouldn't forget about adding him later. You can see his tail.
I added Bird's Foot Violet to a little rock garden. I may not even need the stems because taller elements will be added behind. In which case I'll subtract the stems and just use the flower heads and leaves.
I added some Daffodils but am not sure where they will go, they are just stuck here waiting while I decide on the other taller elements.
And I moved the bucket of tulips to the front of the frame and I think I like that better.

Thanks for stopping by, there is a lot more to be added to this piece so you will have to check back again!
