I was think what to do with my old stocking? so I did some reserch and I lerned that Japanese makes beautiful flower from stocking, so I ask a friend who live in Japan to send me some books. I do not speak japanese but i was able to folow the pictures and in time I created my own desing of flower. I make from used or new stocking. I by stocking from any where specialy girls stocking, because i have more colorful stocking to choose from.

It's beatiful and i should win because is my passion, i took while to do well because I lerned all by myself doing reserch on the internet and trying to figure out how to do looking at the japanese book.
