Clay Flowers Frame

Thank you all for the lovely messages on my last post. 

Also to my 2 new visitors, I hope you liked my blog. 

I love making flowers with my Air Dry Clay and Roses 

are a regular make. So for a change, I thought I would

 try to make a Calla Lily and a Camellia.

I do have some in my garden, so I went and had look

at them to make sure I could get the detail right. Ish!!

The frame was an old one that I recycled, painting it

with some Gesso first. I then topped it with some

Duck Egg Blue Emulsion paint.  

I dried the paint with my heat gun.

I then dry bushed some craft glue over the whole frame.

I then dried to glue off a bit with my gun.

 I then dry brushed white Emulsion over the whole frame,

covering the glue.

I then dried the whole frame with my heat gun, which

then created the paint on the top to crackle. 

Below is the top corner with 2 clay flowers and the 

white flowers are from Hobbycraft. 

The pretty paper in the frame is from my stash.

So the flowers below are a Rose, Calla Lily and 

a Camelia. 

I don't use Moulds for making most of my flowers.

I prefer to just make them in my hands. 

With petals it works, as they mostly have veins

on them, which they can pick up from your hands.

So I have made a gift box to put this in and it will

go up for sale soon!!

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and keeping safe.

I can't remember when we last saw any rain!!

Thank goodness we have 2 big water butts for my new plants.

Thank you for taking time out to visit my blog

and I love reading your lovely messages. 

Big hugs, 

Carol
