Easter Flowers ~ Happy PPF!

Hello!

Still Eastering here ...

Had a little fun playing around with empty easter egg wrappers and ended up with this:

"Easter Flowers"
Created with Easter Egg Wrappers, Watercolour pencils and Impasto texture medium as glue

Quite a relaxing couple of hours, and here's a few progress pics:

First - lots of Easter Eggs needed to be consumed and so we applied ourselves diligently to that task ;D)
(ha ha,  our Daughter said... it must have been awful having to eat all those Easter eggs for the sake of art!!)

It was too cosy being hunkered down in my lounge chair to be bothered getting up to find some scissors, so I tore strips off the wrappers to make various shapes... some were petal-like, others were rolled into thin lengths to be left straight,  and others coiled.

Impasto worked well as a glue, applied with a palette knife, it stuck well and dried clear.
Sticky fingers happened, but a dampened sponge soon sorted that out. 

I drew the vase using watercolour pencils and then a quick brush with some water to activate the colour and the job was done.
 

Funny how these ideas pop up.  I've always liked the pretty coloured foil covering chocolate eggs, at last I found a use for them.

Linking to Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday, where the happiest of artists gather... and everyone's welcome!
