I am calling the end result an summary wreath brooch. In all honesty, underneath my breath I am referring to it as my wacky wreath as a result of it did not end up fairly the best way I might envisioned, however nonetheless, it is festive… I could by no means formally pin it on my jacket, however it is going to be a tremendous tree decoration.
Regardless of attempting 1,000,000 other ways to {photograph} it in our grey climate, the shine of the golden metallic edge strips simply is not captured… it is too dangerous as a result of it is actually fairly good in individual. My telephone did throw me a bone because it requested if I
wished it to establish a plant in my pics. So at the least it acknowledged the design as greenery… how about that!
