It's been a strange day, started normally then I got hit by a bug. Feeling not well but still feeling the need to do things I ended up pottering around slowly and doing a few crafty bits.
Something that has had me interested for a while is the rolled paper flowers I have seen so many people do. Basically, you cut out the template then roll with a quilling tool. Then you arrange it until it looks pleasing and then glue the base of the flower to the tab on the end of the template. Let me tell you this is an art which is fiddly for my fingers and although I have to admit they don't look as bad as I thought they might do I doubt I will throw myself into making a whole bouquet or a shadow frame full.
Cut them both out at 8 inches wide and being the petals were different sizes it made a big difference in the finished size.
Didn't get this glued correctly so it is a bit lopsided. Still pretty though. I guess it's supposed to be rose like maybe?
These almost lost a few petals but I managed to keep them all together in the end. This one was my favourite one.
As well as doing these flowers. I have glass etched a coaster. Which reminds me, the turtle from my last post was white because I hadn't cleaned the cream off fully and now looks a lot more like etched glass not white. I also designed and applied htv ( heat transfer vinyl) to socks today. Also, put some rainbow HTV split letter names onto caps for my granddaughters. Even though I haven't been able to go out as planned I have been productive at least.
Early night needed but first Pinterest calls as have an idea I need to look up. Hopefully, it won't swallow up a large cun of time again or I might be found asleep at my desk!
