The inspiration for these polymer clay charms came from the local In
Bloom committee, when last year they filled
huge tractor tyres at the top of our road with a lovely selection of spring
flowers. These gorgeous bright pink, yellow centered balls decorated the
inner rims and lasted well into June before being ousted for a summer collection,
they were a delight to pass each day.
Sadly however, being double flowers they are little use to bees and other
pollinators who stuggle to get in at the nectar so in hope different flowers
are choosen next time around but wanting to remember their pretty positioning
I thought they'd look nice in clay!
To grow your own pink daisy haven, sow seeds for flowers the next year
- pink daisy seeds or buy plug plants that will give a
pretty show a few months later.
