One month is already gone, I spend my days quite entertained, between reading, sewing some pieces for my country house, that I will show in due time, consulting my art books, taking notes for new little projects to complement my "big" projects, and this weekend when my husband brought to me a few roses from the garden, and I was so glad that they inspired me to do my first miniature rose , does it look like a rose?
And here it is and I dedicate it to my new followers, thank you very much for following my blog.
Also I was temptated to do some jars for one of my greenhouses, they are rather colourful because I´ve used some decorative papers, glued over watercolour paper and then duly cut into the form of the jar, I remember these jars when I was a child, they were in white enamel, but I decided to decorate them. Later I will put some touches of decorative motifs in accordance, and varnish them, although they are made of paper I was surprised that at the final they got quite consistent.
I forgot to say that the rose was done with white rice paper, then I found it was to white and asked my husband to bring me one of my small watercolour boxes, he asked me already if I wanted all the studio mooved to the first floor....., so I painted a few touches of yellow and rose very diluted and then I thought that I had to put a few leaves, so I got a paperpunch and cutted a few leaves also in white, then I painted it and in result I think that I have to repeat the roses, I never thought to be able to do them properly by I think I can, with lots of time and patience.

Thank you Ira I was so glad with my little rose, I love roses and I was already tempated to do them but I thought that I was not able, now I think I can improove the technique.
ResponderEliminarThe rose is beautiful and looks very real! I love the delicate tones you gave it.

O jarros estão lindos e a rosa uma perfeição.
ResponderEliminarNão vais acreditar, tenho estado a fazer várias experiências com rosas porque tencionava fazer várias para ti. Até já tinha comentado isso com a Maria que me deu algumas dicas.Como sabes, nunca fiz rosas com folhas mas desta vez queria fazê-las como deve de ser.
Quando me disseste ao telefone, que estavas a fazer os jarros, fiquei satisfeitíssima pois as minhas flores vinham mesmo a calhar mas,
agora vi a tua linda rosa e fiquei envergonhada...
Muitos bjs
Sofia
Sofia nem penses que vou dispensar as tuas rosas porque eu adoro-as, foram das primeiras rosas que vi e que me agradaram de sobremaneira, portanto vou esperar uma eternidade se fôr preciso mas vou adorar tê-las, e retribuir com alguma coisa que te agrade igualmente.
ResponderEliminarBeijinhos,
Ana
Las jarritas te han quedado preciosas!!!

The rose seems quite perfect to me, but as a first try with such a great result I am really looking forward to the result after some training!!!!!!!
ResponderEliminarThe pitchers are so nice and fun to do, aren't they? I too was quite amazed about how consistent they are, and I used nail-polish for a varnish!!!

It's gorgeous Ana, and I love the jugs too:)
ResponderEliminarBeautiful photo and your rose is perfect!
ResponderEliminarAna, I think you are the only one (whom I have read) who actually painted the motifs and flowers on these paper jugs! :) Gobsmacked and awestruck does not begin to describe my reactions :).
