Candles and flowers make a perfect couple and look awesome together . Clay flowers are a good choice for making table decorations, with or without candles as they do not wilt, require water and look fresh for years.These clay flower decorations can be prepared  well in advance and kept ready for any celebration or festival , co -ordinated with the color scheme as per choice. Another advantage is that they can be used for several occasions and in different settings.

Paper tole

Paper tole or 3 d decoupage is a relatively new craft for me as it was very difficult to search and buy paper tole sheets . I had been admiring the work of my peers but could not get my hands on the relevant paper sheets. Finally I found what I wanted and began my experiments with them  , my new craft for 2020 !
 Paper tole is layering of various paper cut outs on to each other to give a  raised effect aided by foam pieces and silicone glue. It also requires shaping of petals , flowers and other objects to give body and movement to paper images.

Foamiran flower hair band


Foamiran flowers are great for creating fashion accessories as they are light weight, soft and  nearly unbreakable , unless someone goes on a rampage !
The flowers were ready, made sometime ago, waiting for a project , arranging peach , pinks , white and cream roses and buds  on a hair band was a dream come true.
All my flowers are handmade and need adequate time to make so its convenient to have some flowers ready at hand for a similar exciting project.
A great start to a New Year , thank for stopping by, have a nice day !

Rose Sculpture Painting


Sculpture painting, also known as 3 d decorative plaster flowers is the trendiest craft nowadays. The large voluminous flowers are very eye catching and look fantastic as home decor. These flowers are made with palette knifes and special sculpture paste which stays put and retains structure and height as soon as it is applied.
 A quick introduction about floral sculpture painting is in order. It has been made popular by an enterprising Russian young lady who also makes and markets the sculpture paste in several delectable shades. She also takes workshops and has trained several people in this art.
Welding the palette knifes is easy and its pure magic to see the flower take shape in a few deft knife strokes! Practice makes perfect and one can master the knife strokes and make beautiful decorative panels and floral frames for home decor for self use or gifting purposes.

Sculptural Painting Flowers



 Sculptural painting or knife painting is my latest hobby and now 3 d voluminous flowers are blooming on my craft table! Flowers are my all time favorite , I have made them in various materials and its fun learning a new technique. These flowers are made with  palette knifes and thick paste , both  have to be deftly handled to give desired shape of petals and leaves.
 The thick paste flowers harden in a couple of days and make awesome decor , many different flowers  can be made with the same technique and the same 3 d results.
These sculpture paste flowers are different from air dry clay ones in several ways including the technique. I am happy to utilize my surplus craft mdf supplies into gorgeous decor pieces while learning a new hobby.
