This is a digitally altered version of the "Spring Flowers" piece I finished tonight. This piece was done on a canvas on wood. I covered the entire piece with vintage dictionary pages. Then I painted the background of sky and grass with textures. I created the flowers from Fimo Clay. I covered the clay pieces with more dictionary pages and painted with glazed/acrylics for transparrent look. The stems of the flowers are striped wooden skewers.
Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.
