Good morning!
Short and sweet today as the boys are coming over and I have the 'H' stuff to do . . . . . otherwise known as sorting out boy things to occupy them . . . . trains come to mind!!!
So short and sweet . . . .
The rubber mallet worked although I am not completely happy with the result, I think I will definitely have to go buy me a new hammer!The yellow are Nasturtium flowers with leaves while the purple ones are pink Dianthus with some Cotinus leaves. I will see how I finish these before I know whether to scrap or post!I will not be around today so I will try to visit later . . . .
The screen just makes me laugh . . . . .
I have been asked where I acquire my screen prints . . . . Pinterest!!
I have used a rubber mallet to pound flowers, but I also have one that is a bit heavier with a rubber overlay. It works great. I really like your flowers. Some are smushier than others. I have found in spring that irises are fabulous. They practically smush when you look at them (grin).
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming screen print this week. Enjoy your time with the boys. Happy WOYWW from # 6.

ReplyDeleteI have to say I've never seen this before. I must have been living under a rock but I do find this so beautiful and I'm interested to see more!

Well, you are better at flower pounding than I am. They look fine to me and I don't think you should dismiss them.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day with the boys, trains sound a good way to spend some time this afternoon.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
I just have this image of a mad pink haired lady hammering flowers into submission, lolol! And then deciding you need a bigger hammer…fantastic. The results of the bashed flowers look pretty good to me, lovely colours. Hope you have a fab time with the boys playing trains…ahh, that takes me back….

ReplyDeleteOh and I thought you'd been painting and couldn't work out where the rubber mallet came in until I read Elizabeth's comment LOL. They looks lovely, think I'll have to give it a go too. I guess paper on top and bash away.... Hugs BJ#5
ReplyDeleteI think they look great and I bet its fun to do! Hope you had a great day, hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteDealing with aging-parent health issues yesterday so a bit late. I can't believe how like actual flowers some of the pounded one look! I had no idea. Looking forward to seeing them at the end of your process. Bet they will be stunning!
ReplyDeleteHappy late WOYWW!

I thought you had stamped the flowers, until I read through again, what an ingenious artist you are.
