FINALLY....
I kept trying to upload these pictures and just kept getting coding. Then I realized at some point I had clicked on HTML so switched it back to Compose and now it's working. Very frustrating!
Anyway, MEE member Barb S. taught a roses workshop at club last night. We're lucky to have Barb as she generally teaches one workshop a year, makes our birthday gifts, and is also a dealer at our Show and Sale where she sells flower kits, assembled flowers, landscape supplies, German laser cuts and food items.
She had this demonstration of each step of the process plus great illustrated instructions.
Here's her final product for this class. (She actually offered it in other colours too.)
I'm not much on making flowers. In fact, when a vendor at our Show and Sale had her 8 year old grand-daughter demonstrating making her kits and I couldn't do as well as she, I decided that buying was the way to go. LOL.
But, being a sucker for punishment, I signed up for this workshop and although I still haven't finished making all six roses, I'm rather pleased with the result. Barb's an excellent instructor!
Everyone hard at work.
Un precioso taller!!!

Flower making on a small scale can certainly be a challenge...but the results can be spectacular and well worth the time spent. Enjoy the process of creating them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alayna, but I think flowers will go in the same category as food for me...buy from the experts.

I knew Barb when she was a member of the Toronto Club -- I am so glad she has found a group of like minded people close to home --- say HI from Sammmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Samm.
DeleteI'll pass on your "Hi". Aren't we both lucky to have had her in our lives.
Maureen
Oh and HI to yourself as well Maureen
ReplyDeleteI love the roses that Barb made and I think that when you have made a few more you will come to enjoy the process too, Maureen.
ReplyDeleteYour first rose certainly looks good to me! :D

Thanks Elizabeth but too fiddly for me. Like food, I think I'll buy from the experts. LOL
