It is still work in progress... Anyway I'm lucky to have a very large and very bright place to work, here is:

I can paint with a lot of light putting my easel near the window and this is the most important thing for me, to arrange the materials I have a showcase and a metallic shelf, a table with everything I need to paint and a table to work on clay figurines.

Tutorial: crepe paper poppy!

After daisy and dahlia, today I want to show you how to make a poppy.

Crepe paper poppy

Poppy is related to sleep and Morpheus, is a symbol of power, loyalty and pride.

Here is what you need:

Materials 

- Red crepe paper

- Black crepe paper

- Green crepe paper

- Glue

- Scissors

- A piece of cotton wool

- Metallic wire

 

First of all cut a rectangle 3” x 1,4” of black crepe paper and cut many fringes like it is shown in the image:

Make a hook at one end of the metallic wire and cover it with a piece of cotton wool, then cover the cotton with a piece of black crepe paper and secure it with a wire.

 

Stick the black rectangle around the ball to obtain the centre of the flower.

Now cut a petal from red crepe paper using the image below as reference.

For a flower you will need 5 petals.

Stick the petals all around the black centre and fold them to give a more natural look.

Glue all around the wire a stripe of green paper to create the stem.

 

You can create different flowers changing the inclination of the petals.

 

Which of the tree flowers do you prefer?

Poppy is my favorite, I think that deceives more the eye compared to other paper flowers.

Tutorial: crepe paper Dahlia

A fter a tutorial about paper daisies here:
Paper crepe Daisy Tutorial
now is up to Dahlia!

Crepe paper Dahlia
Dahlia is related to an omen of an happy event, gratitude and thankfulness.

Materials:

 - Yellow, orange and green crepe papers
- Glue
- Scissors
- Wire
-Cotton wool

1- Make a ring with the wire in this way:

2- Cover it with cotton wool and fix it with a piece of wire

3- Cover the cotton wall with yellow crepe paper

 

4- Cut a square 3,5" from orange crepe paper and fold it in half

5- Cut a shape as it is shown in the image below

6 - Opening it you will get this flower shape:

 7- You have to cut 10 shapes like this, do not worry about being precise, the final result will be great in every way!

8- When you have all the 10 pieces make a hole in the centre:

9- Insert into the hole the wire with the yellow ball

 10 - Rub the petals

11- Roll all around the wire a green stripe of paper to create the stem as I have alredy shown for the daisy here: Daisy Tutorial

And here is the Dahlia, do you like it?

It can be realized also in yellow with the centre orange or red with the centre yellow.
