A gorgeous celebration of the emergence of the wild flowers in spring on the Scottish hillsides. Here are wood sorrel, wood anemone and early spring violet against a background of mosses studded with tiny butterwort. The design has been painted onto the super lustrous silk freehand with dilute silk paints and I have added tiny beads at the corners. For someone who loves flowers this would make a very useful and loved scarf.
