Flower power

I made a cork board yesterday

That i think turned out so well.

It has magnets on the back so

it can be hung on the fridge.

This is a close up of the flower

 

I wish I'd done a better job of inking

it because you can't really tell, but

on the next one I will.  I cut 4 different

sizes of flowers, inked the centers (which

is supposed to run when wet but

doesn't) then layered them togethe

 with a brad, wet them and pushed

 each layer into a bud shape.  Then you

open it all up-carefully-

and leave it all wrinkled to dry.  When

it is dry you can take the brad out,

glue the whole thing together,

and put a gemstone in the middle.  Even

though the inking didn't turn out well,

I still like it.

 

My sister said she is close enough to

the wildfires to be able to smell it,

but in no danger.  She said there 

was an 18 mile backup on the

highway yesterday!  I hope everyone

makes it out safely.

 

Smile!  It's Friday!
