Although sunflowers make everyone smile and it seemed like an easy theme to come up with a design I had some false starts. Each one seemed so simplistic I scraped them until I settled on using Inktense pencils for a more detailed look.

| False start #1 and false start #2 The proportions of the flowers on the right were too large to keep going! |
 |
| I decided to use the piece on the left since the scale was smaller. I applied small brown dots using fabric paint for the sunflower centers. Next I pulled out my Inktense pencils to create the flower pedals. |
 |
| Inktense pencils are a pretty cool tool. You apply them like any colored pencil but then brush water over the color and they behave like a dye and really pop with color. I just noticed the Inktense pencils are on sale at Dharma Trading Co - click here for details. |

| Here is the 6" X 6" piece for the collections give away. |
 |
| This is Susan's piece. I think some of the flowers wanted to be zinnias rather than sunflowers but the fabric fits nicely into the overall collection and I hope Susan will be pleased! |
