The back one looks really "cockeyed" in design.I had intended to fill in that white space on the right with flowers, but I got lazy.
what a cute idea. very cute! not a good day for gardening here. april snow showers today in nyc. bummer!
very nice drawing! clever idea!
very clever indeed!
I like the Idea of sharing flower seeds....we should all get together and pass around some this year...the Blogger garden:))))
You get to do the flower seed packets!! *just kidding*
Brilliant idea - both the sharing of the seeds and the packets for IF.
I love the idea of sharing seeds instead of paying for them!
What a lovely idea to share seeds through envelopes with self-painted flowers on it.
These four packages here look great!
I support Ldahl´s suggestion :)
Very nicely rendered.
Oh Janet! Those packets look incredibly real and how sweet are you to save seeds to share with others! I wish you a wonderful Spring....
Spring is the promise of things to come. Wonderful post.
Seed packets can make good musical instruments when you shake them as well as growing plants. Cool idea.
Hi Janet!!! I was hoping you would do something like this! I looooove this! The colours are perfect, I love the way you arranged these packets and staggered the back one. Wonderful, well thought out, charming and everyone can relate to this even if they are not a very good gardener, like me! Great work as usual!!!
nice way to put your art skills to good use! great job!
Nice job. Love the metaphor.
Coincidently, I got a packet of wildflower seeds from Miss Sam Duffy of England just the other day. Baltimore's weather is kinda lousy at the moment for planting as well, but I have special plans for these wild flowers.
gardening is my favorite reason for spring and summer. oh god, i can hardly wait!
