HAPPY EASTER!!!!
I'm off to the family lakehome and should probably be packing instead of blogging but I wanted to quick post a photo of the rose I did last night. I mentioned a few posts ago trying to hand paint the wire flower forms I do- so here are the pics! I'm trying to give the flower a bit more mixed media, artsy, and graffiti feeling to it. I think the paint seemed to add to the sketchy feeling as well somehow. Anyways, it's going somewhere and I promise to post more phtotos as it develops.

For this version of my rose I hand painted the wire in a kind of haphazard way. Just here and there. I had to do several coats and I was working with acrylic so the bond is non existant. You could scrape the paint off really easily. SO if I stick with acrylic I'll have to seal it. I might try spray paint. I wouldn't spray the form I would spray the paint onto a piece of cardboard and then use a brush to pick up the paint to apply. If you have any ideas....
After applying the paint I wrapped the bloom with embroidery floss. The leaves were stitched like usual but then I cut out the center fabric from each. Then I squished the leaf up and frayed the edges a bit.
I want to wish EVERYONE who reads this the very best weekend and thanks again for reading!!!
