Furthering the idea of nature as a theme i found a book called 'Fairie-ality' there were some stunning pictures in there, these of pressed dried flowers..



....would work really well as a print.

The book is based on outfits made from flower petals, leaves and feathers for fairies. The outfits are beautifully hande made and delicate...



This has really given me some ideas for my collection. Creating outfits from giant petal shaped fabric to incorporate petals would be hard but also interesting..

Finding fabric which has a similar surface pattern to the dried petals would be difficult but i could dye and embroider them, fold and pleat the fabric to create the 'wiltering' effect..
Chiffon would also work really well as it is a delicate and floaty fabric.
