Blooming Backdrop

Someone is having a special event. We have been storming our brains on what to design on such an occasion.

So, the usual, I searched and surf the internet, and there I saw a massive wall flower. I love the idea and it feels like a piece of nature on a wall or backdrop, just made of LOTS of paper. It is good as a background on a head table for a wedding and birthdays. It is also an amazing setup for a photo booth.

At first, I thought, “Oh, this will be easy to make. Paper and cutting. Nothing major about it.” So I started making my first paper flower. I was furious. Glue gun is not my best friend. It is not just webbing out when you pull, but it is also HOT (I am fully aware that it is hot. I did tried my best not to get burnt with it, but it just can’t be helped that, for no reason, I unconsciously touch it..-_-).

Aside from my mishaps of the glue gun, I did not know, I am clueless of how to make a paper flower. So, I went to pinterest and youtube to get a quick tutorial. And I am amazed that it has a process, templates, and styles. After many trial and error, I am proud to say, I succeed.

Here are some of the pictures of the first wall flower I made.

Please do not mind my messy craft room. It just gives me comfort that it looks this way, but deep in my stem cells, I have been wanting to clean it up.^_^

I am a mom of two beautiful girls. They are my inspiration that kept me loving ART more. I have been in a venture of discovering what ART can offer to a self-taught person. Families, friends, colleagues, and internet, were my teachers on learning the many mediums of art. From drawing, painting, sketching, digital art, and sculpting, I learned them from my daily life of being in the art world.
