The poppies are alpaca fibers nuno felted onto olive green crinkled silk organza.
I used embroidery thread to sew over the poppies in free motion.

Very cute, I really like the color combination.

I would love to do something like this for my baby grandaughter i have an embroidery machine, not sure how you did the felting.
Dont worry you want seeyour self coming we live in Australia.
I just love it so beautiful
Your blouse is beautiful. I'd also love some information on the technique you used. How about an article for Threads?
Your design is so creative. I'm so envious. It must give you a great deal of satisfaction to produce work like that.
So you are as productive over here as you are on BurdaStyle :) Why am I not surprised? I have been meaning to tell you how much I love what you do. In my work on the fabric wiki, I am constantly looking for interesting examples of the uses of different fabrics, and your work constantly jumps to the front of the line as a viewing choice. You've worked with so many different fabrics and styles, and all of them oh so beautiful! I am an unconditional fan :)
Thank you everyone!
@gedwoods: Thanks! I just joined here, I'll see how I can contribute for you fabrics site.
@moushka, @denise: I'll post something on my blog soon with the details, but in a single word, this is "nuno felt"
Ok, I wrote down the process of making the felt:
