Hollyhocks and more hollyhocks! I have numerous reference photos... and as I scan my iphoto albums the hollyhocks call out to me with their big happy faces. A cute bulbous nose, full of pollen, surrounded by a large ruffled collar gives the impression of a colourful clown, rather than a flower bloom. It would seem that I am not the only one with a vivid imagination regarding hollyhocks... have a look at this site, and see how to make hollyhock dolls from the buds and blooms.
Let me know if you try making one.
