My First Topiary

I must say I had a ball (pun intended) making this topiary! It came together MUCH quicker than I expected thanks to my i-bond! My DT sisters at Imaginisce helped me with the bottom portion of the topiary and suggested toile, raffia, and burlap. So I did ALL of them! Thanks ladies!!!
