The Poppy Project

We featured wildflowers in the May window. I had this crazy idea to make a field full of poppies.



My usual painted newspaper technique. I scored a batch of the New York Times from the store owner. Wow, that is the best newsprint I've ever used. It's like art paper compared to the local weekly.



Here we go!



I folded like crazy while watching TV.


And here's our "Superbloom."




How many poppies did I make?

177.  (there would have been 180 but 3 were torn.)

They look so simple, but perfect. I need to handle a NY Times now to appreciate the paper quality:)
