These are flowers made out of discarded aluminum cans that once help soda or beer. It wasn't my original idea, but I've had so much fun creating them, layer by layer. When they are finished (sprayed with a clear acrylic) they will be nailed to wooden stakes and "planted" in my flower garden to bloom brightly and faithfully with no water or plant food. They are simple to make by cutting off the tops of cans, cutting again to even out the edges, cut down in strips to form petals, spead out petals, paint and assemble 3 cans to make the ones like mine. FUN!!!
...the art, creativity, ponderings, and musings of a woman who loves life and expresses that passion in full color... This blog is a spot where I am able to place my stuff. I paint and write and hammer and sew. I create stuff that needs a home with an address in which to receive guests. If I made pies, this would be the sill right by my open kitchen window. Life is short and God is good! Receive. Explore. Enjoy!
