Sunflower Dresden

Today we went to Ferron to Kait's bridal shower. I was in charge of the game. I asked Tom in advance 84 questions so when someone gave her a present they would read a question so her friends from Ferron could get to know Tom better. She answered about 40 of them and only got about a third right. It was really fun though. Tom's fiance...that is a funny word...loves sunflowers. They are having an outdoor wedding reception at her mom's friend's house and she has planted tons of sunflowers for it. So I decided to make them a wall hanging decoration for part of their present. I found a picture on the internet that I liked but I changed pretty much everything and created this...It turned out better than I expected because I have never done anything like that before. When I showed it to my mom she was surprised "how patient and talented I am." I gave it to Kait at her shower and the lady next to me/reception home owner said "I am quite artistic." When Kait opened it, I had the black cast iron rod to hang it on and it rapped separately. So she opened the rod first and was all confused. Then when she opened the wall hanging she said how beautiful it was but she had this confused look on her face. A couple of minutes later she said out loud..."I get it, you hang the decoration on the rod." Everyone busted up laughing...she is kind of a blonde HAHAHAThe flower took the most time and is my favorite so here is a zoomed in view.
