This is my entry for 'The Altered Spoon Challenge' over on Eclectic Paperie. The petals are made from melted plastic spoons, coloured with adirondack inks and highlighted with stickles. The leaves were hand cut using shaped scissors. I used a ball tool to emboss the veins and highlighted them with Tim Holtz distress ink. There is a good instruction guide on You tube outlining the methodology and safety precautions.
Wow! Great work on the altered spoons, who would think that this fabulous project started life as a collection of plastic spoons!! Thank you for joining us for the get Altered Challenge x
ReplyDeleteoh Sandy this is amazing! You melted the spoons perfectly into gorgeous petals, they are so soft and dreamy. Just an absolutely beautiful flower. So glad you shared it at eclectic Paperie!

ReplyDeleteMelted plastic spoons?! What a great idea. The flower turned out so cool!
ReplyDeleteOh my word, Sandy. This flower is just beautiful. I can't believe it stated life as plastic spoons. The petals curl so wonderfully they look real. Great job on the leaves and the gorgeous centers, too. I'm so glad you joined our Altered Spoon challenge at eP. I'm going to have to watch the how-to on YouTube. Very cool!
