The stem was stiffened with thick interfacing and heavy stitching. Then, I wet fabric strips with gel medium (collage glue) and wrapped them around it. The result was nice and stiff, just like a stem should be.

I’m super happy with this piece! It required A LOT of experimenting and inventiveness.

Now, I’ve got the techniques down and I’m making a series of these in brighter colors. The fabrics are dyed and I’m making progress. I can’t wait to see them all together.
