Cherry red bellflower

Today, I want to show you a flower that I have done not long ago and which is different from the ones I made that are often bigger. I am talking about a « Toruko Kikyo which is a kind of Turkish bellflower (Toruco).

This beautiful flower with cherry red and pink colors is composed of 5 articulated petals, a medium yellow center and leaves of various sizes with grooves. I found it so lovely that I made another one to transform it into a hair slide, making me think about the hibiscus who Haitian women put in their hair.
