Spring Break! 2012-02-29

It's spring break at Rice. There is only one professor and me in the department today. Finally, a day that I can play at the office!

I decided to try out newspaper flowers. I got the idea from darngoodyarn.com.(http://www.darngoodyarn.com/chit-chat/) She used the comics. I used an ad insert from the Houston Garden Center since it had lots of flower pictures.

Instead of felt balls, I cut out a smaller flower from pink paper for the center and wadded some of the ad paper for a center. I curled up the petals using my finger. I used a pencil to roll up tighter petals from the pink paper.

I think it looks very pretty so I stuck it on my door. Wouldn't a whole bouquet of these flowers look lovely on my door?
