So I had been waiting very patiently since early April to share these photos with you all. I decided this year, a little last minute, to apply for Artisan Member status with IGMA. I spent the last few weeks of March putting together my most complicated flowers that I've made so far. After several very long weeks due to the anticipation of hearing back, I'm excited to post that I am now an IGMA Artisan! I was so happy when I got the news I may have squealed a little ( Which is really saying something, because I am not the squealing sort).
Since the jurying is done, I can share my pictures with you all.
Here are my five IGMA Artisan submission pieces:

..I had to get a little creative with some of the methods I used to make these. The little blossoms on the Solomons Seal were very tricky to get nice and round at the top. And the Jack-in-the-Pulpits were also quite tricky because the spathe (the hooded part covering the plant center) had to be hand cut and rolled so it would be the proper shape. I also had to figure out how to do the coloring on both sides of the paper without it bleeding through or making the paper look extra heavy. It took a few tries, but I got it. Thanks for letting me share my good news with you! Posts on some new projects coming soon... |
