Patriotic Poppies?
Although I didn’t make my latest collage as a patriotic piece, perhaps I can get away with using it in that way. So “Happy Independence Day” to my American readers!

White Poppies, above, with detail below.
This piece is entirely glued. It’s a great technique which requires no quilting, binding or hanging sleeves! Here it is in-progress.
I’ve been teaching this “Sticky Fingers” technique online for quite some time, using an abstract project. Now, I’m preparing a revised version of this class, with this poppy design as the class project.
Although I tend to sorta wing it in my artwork, I knew I’d need a good pattern for this. Lots of figuring and drawing. Pretty soon, I had tracing paper going in all directions. I can’t wait to share it with others!
The class is called “Sticky Fingers: Poppy Power.” You can find out more about it, and sign up for advance notification here.
Enjoy your holiday and be safe!
