Roses are red, violets are blue... but not for me, well at last not today!
There are some moments and occasions when black - and only black is a possible answer, just like when I needed an "extra touch" matching perfectly my black and silver dress. Just imagine - late Sunday evening, all the shopes closed and me - in the deep desperation - looking for something to put in my hair for the "big night". And then - the idea came just like a lightning. I had something just perfect! Well...almost....;)
Yes... a rose - typical fabric rose in nice shape and good size... but unacceptable colour - deep pink or even red...eeekkk! Not for me! Luckly - probably as all mixed-media freaks - I've got loads of different stuff in my craft corner, so I opened several boxes and that's how the story started ;)
After 10 minutes of spraying, drying with a hairdryer, spraying again, adding some glitter I got what I wanted - a black and silver rose. To make it look more sophisticated I added some feathers, ribbon and bling ;) ...and after 15 minutes and adding a clip or a safety pin on the bottom - the altered flower was ready! Simple and beautiful :)
And that's how it looks now - in my hair or as a jacket or kardigan decoration. I love it especially with my black leather jacket :) A bit of posing below ;)))
There are many easy ways to change flowers - sprays and glimmer mists are the easiest I believe - and you can find many inspiring products in the Bad Girls Shoppes:)
The possiblilities are almost endless...inks, paints, glitter glues, punching and embossing... just take look at your desk and the next inspiration will appear! What is yours? :)
Have fun - and create each day!
Hugs - Finn
