Camper #5

Wow, sharing with you has been fun! Two more campers left to fill…time fly’s by too fast. Hope you Enjoy!!!!

Cone of Flowers

I actually surprised my own self as I created this project. I LOVE the way it turned out. I will tell you though… forming the cone was the most challenging for me. I knew I could watercolor it and be perfectly happy with the results. But, I wanted it to have some kind of 3-D dimension to it. I considered looking for a stencil and using modeling paste. But I wasn’t sure if you would be able to replicate what I did. That’s when the idea of braiding the paper came to my mind.

You have some options, like cutting out brown paper shaped like a cone and add a few dark lines to it. The sky is the limit on what you can do with this…Have FUN and share what you achieve.

Thank you to all who are asking to Join me in The Adventurous Creatives.

You do not need a camper to be one of us…nor, do you need to like camping.

All that YOU need to have is to have an adventurous spirit when it comes to making art…. a willingness to explore and try new things.
