Red Wall Art Flower



This red paper flower hangs on the wall of my studio room, and every once in a while I look at it and think how awesome it would be to have the whole wall covered in these - just a big giant accent wall - red flowers everywhere...

I wish I had more time to make them all.

...

But, for now, I'm happy with just the one :)

2 Spring Pink Roses



While I'm yet to see a real blooming rose in a park around Boston, I have paper roses to cheer up this rainy spring for me. A little ink, a few bits of paper, and you have yourself a handmade flower!

Cheers!



These are among the newest additions in my Etsy shop.

Inspiration Apples



I found these amazing apples in La Pomme's shop on Etsy. Simple and soothing.

Dragonflies, Flowers



These are some of the flower and dragonflies combo embellishments which I made since last week. I used layers of mulberry paper flowers and pretty metal brads to create the flowers (this way they can be easily attached to any sort of paper). Also, note the inked edges...
:)

The set below has metal brads in the form of cute green (and amazingly detailed) dragonflies. And for those that like dragonfly sticker embellishments, I created ones with jewel accent bodies that hover above flowers thanks to bits of foam tape.

You can see more embellishment sets here.

Burst of Red and Pink Flowers



I have this great red double sided paper with tightly arranged white polka-dots, which I have played with and cut out into 9 paper roses. If you look closely, you'll see that the red polka-dot roses show the other side of the double-sided paper - splashes of unexpected blue, yellow and green. I like it :)



I glued 19 of these and other paper roses in solid red and pink (with inked petals to give them a more realistic look) and created another pomander, this time a smaller one. Five pink butterflies sporting sparkling crystal bodies and soft paper antennae hover around the roses.
You can see the pomander in my shop here.
