Well, this week I actually got to catch up with a couple of my classes. Tuesday we did Mather Class with Flor...a paper cutting class with a floral theme.

We started with instructions history on an artist, and a really intricate handout with a pattern. I took one look at that, and knew I would never be able to handle that intricate of work, so I took it My Way.
I started with a piece of cardstock 12x12...using my painted junk sheets I made last summer I cut out a vase shape.
Quick Video of a bunch I did on the fly with watercolors, alcohol inks, sprays and watersoluable crayons. If you have (ugly) art work, chop them up into color groupings and save for collage)

Adding a bit of magazine papers (the greens) cut into Matisse style wobbly leaves, I made some yellow floral shapes in gold and yellow. The orangey piece was from Tumeric painting in another Mather class.

Cutting was easy, the little reddish petals were all petal shapes, and the blues were supposed to look like forget me knots.

Two and a half hours later I was still playing and gluing. Once I was content, I sprayed this outside with Krylon Workable fixative (to stabilize the water colors and keep them from bleeding).

Then an even coating of DecoArt super clear sealer in Matte. to tack down all the edges and make it totally water safe. I plan to do some enhancing down the way after this cures. You can work on tip of sealers...and I hope to add some depth and fill in some of the whites. Next time I do a paper cut pot and flowers I will have a painted background/table and something behind it.
But, for play this was so much fun...especially when you can work large and bold!
Materials used for this project:
12x12 cardstock
Watercolor/ marker/ altered/painted, or scribbled soluable crayons and water, on sheets of different types of papers. See post HERE:
Krylon Workable Fixative
Scissors, glue stick, matte super-clear sealer, and a brush.
