plum blossoms

i'm at it again - trying to make the perfect plum blossom for my banner and to sell. and although it's not quite what I had in mind. what I just made, is pretty dang close. it's a plum blossom inspired flower. I have given up on making it perfect. i'm not God. only God can make plum blossoms. but, I can make a pretty cute flower based on his design, and I have finally achieved something that doesn't make me disappointed.

now, I have to make more. at least 4 more, and a few to sell. I could sell one of my original 5, however, then I wouldn't have them if I wanted to use them for pictures or if I ever go to a craft fair. so, I gotta keep them.

I'm happy, cause this knitting goal has been hanging over my head for quite some time, and to have it done, well that'd just be awesome.

plus- i'm re-thinking my ideas for flowers. maybe less true to life colors and more muted colors that people actually wear. not everyone in the world wants to dress bright like I do, and so, I'm going to tone down those colors a bit. the colors in my plum blossoms are truly perfect, it'll just be getting from real life to picture that concerns me color wise.
