11:43 pm - Why I needed the barbed wire...
This is the super secret project that required the barbed wire. I ended up making my own out of some 14G stuff I bought at the store. It took forever to make these things because I totally didn't know what I was doing. I wasn't sure how to make fabric roses, so after failing to figure out some directions for making "ribbon roses", I just made something up. I think they turned out decently, however.
I couldn't speak of it until now, because I was making them to give to friends in Boston for letting me spent the weekend with them. I was going to get them some more typical pink or yellow roses (or something similiar) but no regularly available color of rose really conveyed the right message. Black satin and barbed wire just seemed more appropriate.
