A Perk of Flower Crazy and a Thank You

I love doing class assignments as they provide specific focus and prescribed boundaries.  Each assignment is an opportunity to use new materials and techniques or to further explore seemingly familiar ones.  I have taken away something positive every time.

"Flower Crazy" (online class from Carla) was fun and full of play and color.  I loved making several mixed media canvases and boards.  One of the assignments yielded this:

"Flower Swirls in Pink and Yellow"

And the perk?  Recently someone liked it and purchased it :-)  I appreciate everyone who supports art and artists by attending events, spreading the word and buying art.

I am fortunate to have some paintings and prints at Studio Three in Fort Collins, CO.  Meeting and chatting with people at the Holiday Open House a few weeks ago was a pleasure.  Thank you so much Evelina - Studio Three owner and incredibly supportive friend.

3-Step transformation

Give your blossoms a whole new...something.
 
1. Cut out.

2. Mount on foam core (or cardboard).

3. Hang.

Yay!

Moving blossoms from 2-D to 3-D came from Carla Sonheim's "Flower Crazy", the class I mentioned a few posts ago ( http://carlasonheim.com/flowercrazy.html ). The class was FUN and super messy - at least the way I did it!
