How To Make Paper Roses

Making roses from hand-cut paper petals is one of my greatest joys.

When the paper is right: pliable, heavy-weight and in a pretty color like this candy pink, the whole experience is all the more enjoyable.

There are countless ways to make a paper rose.

You could try the way Paula taught me (via her blog), or you could try this method I came up with this Saturday.

The tutorial is all mine, but you are most welcome to try it.

Enjoy!!

Fox Clock

I want this wall clock!!!

The design is awesome, it is made from bamboo, and it goes perfectly with a blue wall - just like the one we already have in our home.

See it in Graphic Space Wood's shop on Etsy here.

Gray and Yellow Paper Flowers

This color combo seems perfect for today's weather: a mix of clouds and sunshine, a strange calm before the pending storm.

Polka dot yellows, shimmer papers, gray and silver and lovely lovely vellum. All flowers are dotted with pearly beads.

Corsages and Boutonierres in White and Blue

Paper flowers in shades of blue and white with lovely pearly buttons, handmade leaves from green paper, folded petals, and turquoise ribbon - perfect as little wedding party accessories, such as boutonierres for the groomsmen and corsages for the ladies.

These were inspired by Holly's wedding flowers I made a couple of months ago. For a limited time, you can see them in my Etsy shop.

Bunny in the Mail

I won Seamore!!!

This pretty bunny came in the mail yesterday and totally made my day!!

The creator, Krys Kirkpatrick, was feeling generous and lucky and send it to me after I left a comment on the Earth Angels Toys blog. I love my little gift and will treasure him forever!

Seamore

is a seafaring rabbit who

sails the seven seas to see what he can see.
