I got out the tiny silver scissors again and did a bit of collage last night. I made this one inspired by a weed that's all over the garden, and my wildflower identification book tells me it's called hawkweed

That's a kind of tiny dandelion-type flower, of which 300 different specimens can be found in the British Isles, but it always seems to be the same type around here.

My paper hawkweed was cut from various pages in a Vogue magazine, glued to black card. 

Thanks for entering the Extra Curricular giveaway. I drew a name at random- it was Matariki.

    That’s incredible! At first I thought you’d pressed the flowers in the top photograph and stuck them onto a card. Amazing 🙂

    My friend told me that you can eat dandelion leaves one time and I had a bunch in my garden. I tried to eat it but it was SO bitter LOL. So much for experimentation….
