My rose finally has a home. I added a few items to the mix, but not much-just enough to support the stem and leaf structure.
I might add another rose or bud someday, but for now it is enough to know that my idea worked.
I do like the look of the leaves much better than normal crochet, as they are smoother, and I was able to make them more life like. They are in the foreground hanging over the Baby’s Breath.
Just sharing!

I have been working with this stitch for a while in the hopes that I could produce a fabric like “look.” I wanted the stitch to be flatter than normal crocheted posts, as I wanted to be able to paint and embroidery on it. The results of my efforts are shown in the photo below.
This large “Peace and Love” rose is a duplicate of the one that is in my back yard, and my husband’s favorite. He wanted me to immortalize it for posterity. 🙂
*Just as a side note- got a test from a friend
She asked if the rose was made of painted fabric and dried over a mold of some kind. This, of course, let me know that I had achieved my goal.
As of now I am working on the leaves, and will be adding them as it section is completed.
The photo above shows my work in progress. The leaf at the far right is almost finished. You can see that each vein is worked separately. The leaves on the far left are finished to their base, and details are embroidered with #80 crochet thread.
My leaf pattern is a duplicate of the original leaves in two sizes, as the rose I cut from the bush had leaves in groups of three, one large and two small.
It has been a fun project.
I will upload the finished product soon.
My man will be happy.
Just sharing, KT
