Flowers!!! Flores!!!

If there is one thing I like to make is flowers. 



 I've done so many over the years. Three years ago I made about 100 roses out of polymer clay, in different colors and sizes (see above photo) these were used on favors I hand made for my daughter's 15th birthday celebration.  Here are a few photos, that show the favors that included these flowers.  Check them out.









Now I've done jewelry using flowers I made out of  fabric, duck tape, polymer clay, two part epoxy, and so on.  Here are a few photos.

Flower rings made using zippers, beads and wire.

Flowers made from paper to make jewelry like the earrings you see here, I also used chain and crystal beads.

 
                                                      

These flowers were made using crepe paper, these are pretty big, I also made some smaller  sizes.

Handmade Holiday Ornament Swap with Charity Wings

I joined a handmade holiday ornament swap! we are supposed to make two ornaments - one to swap and one to donate to the Charity Wings auction tree. Once we signed up for this swap we were assigned a partner, my partner asked I sent her both ornaments since she volunteers at Charity Wings.  I made three ornaments, one was glass, so just in case something went wrong there will still be two ornaments left, one for my partner and one for Charity Wings. All the ornaments sent to Charity Wings will  decorate a tree to be displayed in the Art Center for a week or two, afterwards in early December they will auction off the whole tree to raise funds for all their worthy causes! Here are the ornaments I made:   a glass ornament covered with polymer clay in different colors and added some glitter by using Viva Decor glitter liners  This ornament is made of  SCULPEY® ULTRALIGHT™ , added a template to the clay by using  TRANSLUCENT LIQUID   SCULPEY .   I used several Viva

Thanks to a post a friend shared on Face Book, I took a string of lights that sparked on me when I was trying to use them outside, so I took off all the bulbs and the spare ones too and decided to turn them into ornaments, I thought about making jewelry too but the ornament idea won.  All I did was paint them over using Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver, to most of the bulbs. As you can see on the photos below, l used Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver to paint the most of the orange light bulbs, to some I just added some glitter by using Viva's glitter liner pens in copper, gold and fuchsia colors.  I did use some distress glitter in red and green from Ranger.    Once dried, I added wire hangers to all the light bulbs, added some gold snowflake wired garland to the neck of the bulbs and I did go over all the bulbs with more glitter and paints to add designs and patterns adding interest and dimension.

If you didn't start from the beginning, please go back to Terri's blog,  http://terrisproul.blogspot.com  if not, please go back. You should have hopped here from Chris Hurley's blog at   http://www.stinkydogdesigns.blogspot.com/  and in case you get lost along the way there is a complete list to the right of everyone taking part of this hop. Now here is my card for today, I decided to go for a simple look. - I got some products in the mail not long ago and decided to use them on this card - the green paper you see is actually a wall paper product it has a marbled look already in gold and I decided to use my Viva Decor gold glitter pen in some areas to really bring out the gold.    The round circle on top was part of the shipment ,  I didn't make it, but it seems white paint  was added to a circle cut from heavy card stock (maybe) and a pretty star was stamped while wet - again I can only assume how it was made - but I liked it and thought it would make a nice
