Thursday Tease: June 20, 2019

Yesterday I came across a photo of the Papaver somniferum "Drama Queen" poppy and just knew I had to share this as an inspiration. I never imagined combining red and purple in a design but as nature often does, it teaches us to think outside of our comfort zones. I'm more of a jewel tone person. For the longest time I avoided adding gold seed beads to my designs and preferred bronzes instead but these days I like to add a hint of 24kt charlottes here and there. Change is good.

Here's Papaver somniferum "Drama Queen". With that name, you know it will take center stage in any garden.
