As promised I have now completed the video that shows how I made the style of vase shown from die cuts.
I have used the Pentagon Bauble Easel to make the shape and this one has been painted in Arteza Metallic Blue and then dry brushed with gold
But while I was making another vase I thought it would be a good idea to show all three sizes that can be had from the dies
And so this photos shows you all the sizes side by side.
I kept to one basic colour scheme for effect, and I gave them a coat of clear gloss varnish and let them dry.
They can all be displayed together as one collection, or kept individual for flowers.
They are not waterproof though so only add faux lowers to them .I know they won't be around for a lifetime and they are not going to become family heirlooms, but I had fun making them and they do look kind of pretty on my shelf
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Interesting video Christina. Karen Holmes
ReplyDeleteA great idea and an interesting video, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteHi Christina, I wish I had your creativity and ability to think outside the box. These are delightful and fun vases, and your decorations using dies from your collections is so original. I need to get busy looking at ways to use what I have of your collections. You are amazing. I hope you are staying safe through this trying time and that you and your family are able to get together and support each other. Warm wishes and hugs from a Geordie lass living in the land down under.

These are lovely and as you say the fun in making them to have a beautiful result, doesn't matter if they don't last for many years, although they may? hahaha

You could always place a glass jar inside if you want to use real flowers inside.
