Spring poppies

Every spring when the California poppies bloom, I am amazed at the range of colors in those blooms.





























We try to drive out to Lancaster/Palmdale and see what we can of the blooms.
















And every time we see them, there are pictures to be taken - and weaving to be done once I get home!













This is just a plain weave project that I did awhile back with different yarns, both smooth and bumpy, to mimic the range of colors and textures.

All yarns are cottons, no synthetics fibers here.

The flowers themselves but also the stems, leaves, and the earth below gave me the color palette.
