Faux Prima Flowers



I am using my Cricut machine to make Prima style flowers using cone shaped coffee filters and coloring them w/ various inks. They cut very flat, and then I add dimension by scoring and embossing them by hand. A good way to get just the right color flower for a project.

What a resourceful idea! I have tons of Prima's, but, I swear, I *never* have the right color, so I am always coloring a white/off-white one. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the cut file! I made some befor with punches, then I scord them on a foam mat and I punched my scoring stylus through the senter to add more dimention. I never thought about the coffee filters though and I have many since I make books with them. PS welcome to the SCAL user group!

Bird Boy ATC

Bird Boy Originally uploaded by saunjune This little guy is the first ATC I made for Jennifer (the winner of the Art Lottery at North Coast art swaps).  I used a sand filled texture paste for the base of the background, then sprayed with glimmer mist, then inked, and finally dripped a combination of thinned teal colored paints and let them run down.  The plastic heart is from Heidi Swap, and inked with a wordy stamp I had laying around.  The little cutie boy is from Lisa's Altered Art Collage sheets.  You can find them here:  http://www.lisasalteredart.com/

Petit Doll project pt. 1

doll on board1 Originally uploaded by saunjune 1st phase of my suzi petite doll project...got my drawing on a painted and collaged backboard. The summer has flown by so quickly, the kids just started back to school and I have a tiny bit of free time on my hands. I enrolled in this class at the end of May, and have had no real time to work on any of it since the kids got out of school in early June. I took my sketchbook w/ me and made several drawings while traveling, (and boy did we do some traveling this summer), there was just never enough time to get to the painting portion of class. I realized as the kids went back to school this class only has one more week of open participation left, so I thought I'd better get to work and get something done! So far so good. :)
