Rose Branches

I collected some branches that fell from a tree outside my house.....

The photo shows only two but there were some more....

Branches

I chose the best of the branches and got out my ammunition.....a spray can!!

I spray painted the branches gold.......ohh I love shiny, blingy stuff!!!

I loved the way they turned out :)

When the branches were drying, I made some paper roses of different sizes....

Here they are!!!

You can use ready artificial / silk flowers like these too....

I stuck the roses randomly on the branches with a hot glue gun....

Then, I took a glass vase and filled it with glass fillers for the base.....

Finally, I arranged the branches together in the vase....

This is how the final product looks....

It gives a very chic look to the house at a very minimal cost....

One Stroke Painting on Envelopes

Hi there....
Welcome to my post on one stroke painting.....

One-Stroke Painting on Envelopes

One Stroke Painting involves loading your brush with two or more colors simultaneously, and completing a part of a design in a single stroke......Though it looks simple, it takes a lot of practice to get those strokes correct!!

This art is quite popular nowadays and has stalwarts like Donna Dewberry and Luz Angela making it more famous each passing day.....

I wanted to work on a small scale with mini one strokes, so I chose these pretty envelopes made out of handmade paper......They look classy and are great for gifting during Diwali or weddings....

I have made use of acrylic colors here....

Each envelope has a different flower design, which means that all the strokes are different....

I loved the way they turned out....hope you like them too... :)

Presenting the set of 6 that i completed today.......
