Roses

Hello dear readers,

You will probably agree with me that no flower shop can be complete without roses.  Here are roses I made using a regular office paper hole punch, a star punch, and colored papers.  When they are finished, I spray them with a transparent lacquer to protect their color.

Made some "Fresh cut roses"

Made a chair for the flower shop.  This will be the color of the furniture pieces. 

Made rose orchids.

Spring is on my work table.  These colors put me in a good mood.

I'll give flower making a break and start working on the furniture, leaving the shop for last.
Have to make some changes in the structure.

A warm welcome to my new followers and thank you.

I wish you all a lovely weekend with blessings.

Orchids

Hello dear readers,

Valentine Day is almost here with romance in the air.  The flower shops are getting ready for business time, expecting volumes of orders.

My shop isn't ready yet.  I keep stocking up.  This time I made orchids and as usual, I got carried away and spent a whole week making them as well as the pots.  (Egg carton pots, as you probably guessed.)

This lot is already donated to charity.  I'll have to craft some more if I want them for the shop.

Paper orchids are not very difficult to make.  These are done with only two punches which I have at hand, a 1/8" hole punch and a 1/16" flower punch.  I hope they look fairly similar to the real flowers.

Keep away from the flue my friends!
Wishing you the best with blessings.
