However, I still don't see the columbine. I stared at the photos of the real and jacket flowers yesterday, and while I can sort of see some resemblance if I try hard, I'm still not sure. I have a reproduction copy of Besler's Florigium and it doesn't quite match the picture there either. I guess with the spurs and tubes, it is just a hard flower to copy. P.S. NeedleArts is out and I'm so pleased to see Cheryl's article on the project! If I didn't have to paint and recarpet and attend a wedding this summer, I would be back for more!
