I remember making flowers out of tissue paper when I was a young. Carefully separating and fanning the layers and securing them with a bobby pin. These tissue-like poppies reminded me of those flowers, particularly the slightly windblown ones to the right of the frame 😏

Makes me want to go buy crepe paper—is that even still a thing? I also remember making them from tissues and a pipe cleaner. 🌸

What a great comparison! I love poppies but I never thought about how much they look like tissue paper flowers, Belinda. Lovely!

YES! I did that too, and you’re so right. These poppies have the same look as those tissue paper flowers.

Poppies always remind me of the Wizard Of Oz movie where Dorothy is running through a big field of poppies… ❤️

Yes, they very much do look like the ones I made from tissue paper when I was a child. I had forgotten about that – thanks for reviving a pleasant memory.
