I couldn't get a camera to work so I scanned these flower pins with my printer. They are folded fabric in an almost origami-ish technique.

I got the idea for the flowers from this book that I checked out of the library.

I really liked the look of the flowers on the cover but I didn't like the look of the necklace as a whole. I wanted something that was a little more versatile. I figured with just the flower turned into a pin you can wear it on a jacket, hat, whatever. I'm even thinking of making another one and putting it on a plain metal necklace chain. I think it would look pretty but simple.

Now I think I'm going to go to bed since it's 3am
