This is Amateur
Art,
But it comes from
the heart!
Just
in case it’s difficult to tell what those are – those are roses! The photograph doesn’t do them justice obviously :-),
they look better in person, but that’s not the point really. The cool part is the process of making them.
I
used to throw out bases of celery without ever looking at them. Thanks to Family Fun magazine I now know that
there is a rose hiding in the base of each celery bunch. Cut the base off, and what you get is a
ready-to-go stamp for ‘painting’ as many rose blooms as you wish. You can use celery hearts for leaves. (I used diluted acrylic paints.)
I
had fun making my rose Valentine cards.
It’s an easy, not-so-messy craft, with quick and pretty results – a nice
project even young kids can handle with a little bit of supervision and
guidance. Hope you’ll consider planting
your own rose garden!
Live
for the Love of it,
The
Happy Amateur
