Hello- Your instructions state to use the double sided crepe paper in ferns and moss. Which side is used to paint the magenta? It looks to me like the lighter side has been used but it is difficult to tell from your photos. Thank you for your help.

Hi Coleen, You can use whichever color you like best! I believe we used the lighter side for the artichokes. 🙂
Can you do a video on this?
We can add this to our list of video tutorials to film! 🙂
Where in the world, did you find the eggs this size? Can’t find anywhere.
Amazon! There’s a link in the post 🙂
Is there any way I can purchase some of these artichokes? I love them
So sorry, we only sell the pattern to make them yourself.
How lovely. Just yesterday while out shopping I saw the most gorgeous giant artichokes but they were so pricey. Love how you’ve made these.
Thank you Michelle!
You have the artichoke and fig as really pretty Christmas ornaments in your Christmas tree reveal. How have you hung these ‘ornaments’? Or did you put them in between branches of the tree?
Yes! We just stuck them into the branches here and there, but you could certainly add a ribbon (using hot glue) and hang them 🙂
