A Weird Poppy Flower

Sometimes I like to random doodle, I never quite know what I’m going to end up with, something cute? Something useable? Or will it just end up in the trash?

I started off drawing what I thought was going to be lavender and out came a mix of that and a poppy seed head. See? You just never know what I’ll end up with.

I liked this imaginary flower so It’s going to be today’s free pattern Friday.
