Marc does beautiful things with his Remembrance Poppies, I showed them last year, but it won’t hurt to show them again, especially the ones he made this year while I was with him.
First, he took them apart and then after covering them with a light coating of PVA glue, sprinkled them with glitter, red for the petals, black for the centre and two shades of green for the leaves…… 
…… the lighter green first and then when it was dry adding the veins using a fine glue applicator. The results as you can see are stunning!
We had meant to do a poppy in Marc’s Ranger Melting Pot while we had it out but unfortunately we forgot until it was put away, aghhhh, however we did see one done on Create and Craft on Wednesday when The Melting Pot was the Pick of the Day to equally stunning effect.
