Roses...Deviations...

As I was juggling cooking.. doing homework.. pick-up this and that.... got caught sitting down doing these two swags.... Still need some adjustments to the balance upon hanging...some stuffs & tools missing.....

This & That..WIP..Never Finish...

I have been stealing time here and there in Dec '2009 to get some of this done. My eldest was here frm msia for a week and then my 2nd came for 2 weeks when the eldest return to work again....Than our umrah trip for 5 days...This week school starts again and also my classes..thus the WIP.

This 2 round stands are for Linda who wants some flowers to be painted on them. At the moment still looking at some pattern books but no idea yet came to mind.

So..while waiting for some ideas to strike..I dabble on these wooden spoons. It was an Eco wood..very hard...I am trying Sky Blue as base coat to see how it turns out and Berries n Cream for the almost subdued pink. Turns out quite nicely.

This plaque with Mint Green base and streaks with Sky Blue....was actually practising to get the hydrangeas right..

This is another practise on how to do stripes on the base..coated with Baby Pink and striped with Berries n Cream....practise some string ribbons..the angle ribbons still doesn't turn out well..

This is a redo of a mess-up small flowers...turns out quite well the 3rd time around and booked by Illa...waiting for another coat of varnish before planning to deliver it end this week.

This is a door plaque request by kak Nas for her daughter..she said..pinkish..but I was not sure how pink..so I mixed 1:1 of Sheer Blossom with Warm White for the base...outside trim with Berries n Cream and Gold line..I hope she will like it...

These topiaries to be decided upon which one by Sue...but i am already falling in love with the sweet colors..probably i will make another one coz'I have just enough flowers but I have no more pot or vases....

So...these were what kept me busy...

My Other Passion ~ Floral Crafts

When I was working at an MNC few years..years back...I always see my staffs will have something to do during breaks...usually I do not pay any attention coz'I am the type if I want anything I will go look for it and buy..but one particular day..I see almost everyone was at it..doing the straw flowers..it looks so simple and cute..I remember too about the straw cube I use to make when I was about 10yrs old or so..Hmm..I wonder if I can learn this..So..it started with the straw flowers...than the sponge soap...a few more other things..Than I started making flower swags and wreath and decoupage at the same time..I also make those cuties in the small bottles with potpuri and stuffs....I dont have any of my decoupage stuffs in photo..but I make plaques..candles..soap..on bottles and boxes..

OK..but what I want to show here were the flower crafts that I have make recently and is taken up..plus the ones that I put up for myself...I can always make another...
