Mother Nature Inspired Sewing

Last night I was up late watching a movie about Coco Channel.  Starting as a Hat Maker, even the hats in the movie (props) inspired me with their embellishments.  Ah, thinking about a fellow-sewers Leaves for her beautiful Leaf Dress, I turn to flowers.  So what is Kanzashi.  Amazon has a book by Sister Diane and the reviews send you to her Crafty Pod.
