    A Slow Go…For Real

    My out-of-town company is on their way home, 3 of my other children are off to a movie, it's quiet in the house and I'm in the mood to put Christmas away...maybe I'll just clean up my workroom tonight...a lot of mess left from Christmas projects!

    The Flowers are Back

      And I’m going to show you how to make them.  I have been promising this for ages, but the truth is that I have had and CONTINUE to have…technical difficulties!  This video tutorial is far from perfect, but it will have to do for now! For anyone that I have showed before, I have reduced the count from 16 papers to 12…it’s a little less bulky, but beautiful still.  If you want a super full flower, keep to 16 papers! Here are a few more flowers/views.  I will show more steps for variations in the next few days!      Isn’t the variegated color wonderful?  I love how spraying the two shades of color over each other makes such a spectacular hue. This last flower was made from yellow baking cup liners and sprayed after constructed and “fluffed”.  I love this, too!   I have to say it once again…I love these flowers!  Have fun and let me know if you have any questions.  I’d love to hear from you!
