Thanks, Becky. I just realized that I'd better say something about the gilded flower made from milkweed pods at the top of the wreath, because I'm sure Sharon will call me on it if I don't!
When I was doing the original milkweed flowers in red, she suggested I try a certain technique with silver or gold paint. Try as I might, I couldn't get it to work. So the half-finished flower got shoved around on my workbench as I was working on the wreath project, when it occurred to me that I could just spray paint the whole thing gold and use it in the wreath. So Sharon, just so you know, I did *not* cannibalize the red pod flowers!
