January
2014 Altar Project
The
Final Creation!
The year has whizzed by and it is hard to believe that this is the
final piece to fit into our little altars!
To celebrate, I thought I would do something with flowers ….. but the
question was what? I had already done
some felted and button flowers so it needed to be something different. This project is going to Kimberly.
Then I got a beautiful postcard in the mail from a gallery in Bellevue
and I loved the image. It just had to be
incorporated somehow. The postcard
looked like quilled paper and it was in a beautiful golden yellow color. So the background it became!
Flowers need a vase…or a basket!
So using copper wire I made a ½ basket so it would sit flat in the
space. And with two spaces to fill I could
allow the flowers to overlap and reach up into the top space.
The flowers are made with recycled paper that had a subtle texture and
were similar to the color of the full moon …perfect! So the paper was cut and then folded and the
stems were made with copper wire so they would coordinate with the basket. Voila!
A basket of flowers to celebrate our final episode!
It has been a pleasure working on this project…thank you to Peg for
dreaming it up! And what fun it has been getting a package in the mail each
month with something new to contemplate, celebrate and enjoy!
Thank you to all of you who have participated!!
