Roses are red......
But not today mine are yellow! I have been messing around with paper to fashion some roses with. (lots of different tutorials on Youtube)
As you can see I need to practise lots more as the middle is not right and I havn't got the petals spaced out evenly.
The greenery is real so am going to figure out how to make some from paper.
Here they are with some real roses! Makes a bigger boquet and they compliment the real ones nicely, in fact Head Honcho had to look twice! The lady who makes paper roses in US www.mymommymakesroses.com charges upto $90 for one rose....will have to up my game a bit! :0D
The other thing I've been fiddling with and also need some more practise with is Fluffy Florence.
Here she is eating the daisies in the garden. (yes, she is a sheep if you can;t figure out what she is :0P ) You can't see her feet as Florence is knee deep in grass. I saw this tutorial on
here and as I've got some fluffy black and white wool left over from my dancing bunnies the next step was a flock of sheep!
I will link up to these parties;

Wow when I looked at the photo I thought the roses were real. What a brilliant job you've done.
ReplyDeleteI could tell Florence is a sheep and I think she
looks great. Ali x
I think you've done really well there as I think they look real from the photos!! Well done x
ReplyDeleteI think the roses are great - you are being too critical. I bet that no-one would see the difference if you didn't tell them - try it! Also love the sheep - so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHeck! Amazing - I can't tell the difference between the real and not! Mich :)
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely, and you certainly can't tell the difference by the photo's. Youtube is great for all sorts of tutorials.

I can honestly say I thought they were real! They'd be great as a bouquet... something you can keep that never dies.
ReplyDeleteThese are fab! I thought they were real!! Much nicer than some of the artificial flowers I've seen out there! :) xx
ReplyDeleteThey are incredible! Do you have to tint the paper to get the darker edges? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful. I remember as a child making thousands of paper roses for a charity event, happy days.
ReplyDeleteI think you are too critical with your work! The roses look brilliant, hard to believe they are paper. The sheep looks really cute in the garden.
