Pretty soon we'll be decorating for the Christmas holiday season so it's only fitting that I should finally create paper flowers for the two fall seasonal mixed media embellished vases I made several months ago.
I had previously made two paper flower stems but needed to make more for the two vases.
For one of the vases I wanted to create paper flowers that were similar to black-eyed Susan's. I really wanted to create sunflowers, as I just love them, but thought they would be too big for my little vases. So, I created three black-eyed Susan type stems.
After creating them I realized they were just a little too big for the vase. Given I hate to waste anything I've made I decided to just let them be a little too big for the vase anyway. They still look nice on my mantle. Maybe over time I'll decide to change them, but for now they're fine.
For the second vase I needed to add two small stems that would compliment the two floral daisy sponge painted paper stems I had already made. I wanted these two to be much smaller and be prickly type desert or cactus type flowers so I created two that looked like pods.
The pods don't quite look like any type of flower that you could name, but are pretty none the less. Plus, they match the sponge painting on my original daisy stems.
They, too, look great on my family room mantle so I'm happy with the way they both look.
