Roses for Mom!!

Hi,

         I had made Cold porcelain successfully and started experimenting with it.I love roses and started making it.Colored the CP before hand sculpting with the acrylic color.Didn't count while making them!!

                After it dried,I started counting them and it was 48!!! Sent the pics to my sis,who has then showed it to my mom.My mom called me and told that they were looking real and asked me to bring them for her when I return back to India :) She is someone who will do anything for flowers,she is just crazy for flowers especially for the smell of the English rose :)

With Love,

Small break from quilling :P

Hi,

           Yay! I had got few craft supplies and brought it here through a friend..But,still loads of stuff are yet to arrive from my itsy bitsy shopping.Hoping to have it soon here through someone visiting India.  I have been quilling a red monarch butterfly in A4 size recently and wanted to take make something different.I had some homemade cold porcelain remaining after I had hand sculpted nearly 50 roses which I will share soon.

             Took the cold porcelain and used the quilling mould to make big half pearl shape for the pendant and made it in smaller size for the stud type earring.I did not find any metallic paints here,so painted roughly to get an antique effect with the copper colored 3d outliner :P Used a plunger to design the center of the pendant and earring.Climate here is not adding any justice to this beauty in the photography :( But,I am in love with this piece.

Next,is the little pendant which I made with the pearls and quilling strip.I cut a small square out of a cardstock and glued pearls to it using the glue gun and surrounded it with the quilling strips for defining the outline.In order to cover the gap between the pearls,I sticked small tight coils :P

Linking it to itsybitsy-make-it festive challenge!!

With Love,
