All are made from paper? Beautiful, April.

Thank you, yes Temperance, they are made from different types of paper, newspaper, magazine and the white one printer paper, I've made others using coffee filters and kleenex tissue paper I'll take more pics when I put some color to a few of those maybe later or tomorrow, I'm still trying to get those cones rolled. Sigh. LOL.
 
I'll get back in the swing of things soon, just haven't been in the mood the last day or so, too much pain to concentrate, usually, I spend time with activities to get my mind off the pain, but, when it gets like this, only thing to do is hit the bed and apply heat and rest. I did manage to roll a few more cones, but that's it.

Still hoping the rest of you out there will share some of what you are working on real soon. For now, heading off to bed for a late afternoon res.

Really very pretty, especially love the roses. You must have endless patience. Looking forward to seeing more. And thank you for sharing.
 
I'm almost finished with the cone, aka daliah project, it was looking pretty good to me till I took pictures of it and then it looked like a science project gone wrong. LOL, I swear you have to be here live to be convinced it looks better in person. No really, but, I'll share the incomplete project with you anyway. I aint scared. These are far from finished.

Well, I really wasn't sure what to do with the center, I had different things in mind, but, didn't really have what I wanted on hand so just put together a flower painted it mishedmarsed up a bit, still need to work with it some more, but, here's where it stands for now and probably at least the next week, I'm done with this one for now. I took several pictures, my camera is trying to tell me it wants to be replaced, I had a lot of cloudy ones these are the best out the ones I took. Either it's the camera dying or my eyes, probably a combo of both.

Thank you, ladies. I hopeful that hopefully, I'll get better with the next one, I think I have a handle on rolling the cones, it went a lot faster once, I got my head wrapped around the process, so, next time they will be neater and more uniform. But it will be a smaller one when I do make the next. :D

I appreciate the kind comments.

I just went thru the whole thread right now, first time I saw this post WOW, very nice work, AprilT.

I especially like the last pic...so pretty! What is that made out of?
 
I used coffee filters and for the branches newspaper if you mean the second page last picture. I'll go back and try to label those last few what I used.

Yes, I mean the purple and white flowers....okay, I see they are labeled.

was that one hard to do?

It was the easiest, I came up with the idea for the branches after being to tired to walk to the store to buy the materials needed for what was suggested to make them, so I just rolled up newspapers, a little tedious at times, but much less work than the previous projects. I can knock out that project in a couple of hours the others took days rolling those paper cones because I kept taking breaks from it.
 
I will...it won't be as nice as yours but I'll share.


Do you have a link on how to make the flowers or is it in the previous pages....I just scrolled though looking at the pics.

There is a link, but I didn't follow the example for those flowers, I do have other flowers I've made from the following link, I just didn't post them here as I didn't really complete them in a project pattern as yet.. not sure when I'll get back to the crafting bit, I get bored with these things once I figure out how easy they are until some new and shiney catches my eye again. LOL, think I have ADHD :excited: at least till my iron deficiencies kick in. :laugh:


OOPS!




Oh wait, it's the link you want, not my mumbo babble.
