So here is my white pumpkin with purple flowers!! I was so inspired by a picture on Pinterest, that I had to create it - but my way!! And I would love to share that pic with you ... however, I didn't pin it and now I can't find it ... so frustrating!!
Anyway, enjoy, visit all the 5 for 5 blogs and then ... go create!!
I started with a canvas and covered it with tissue paper. I inked it up with green and brown ink to create the background. Then I used small pieces of modeling paste that I had dried out for another project and cut them into shapes like the flowers I saw in the Pinterest picture. I water-colored the modeling paste with a purple color. I made stems and leaves with green water colored paper. Finally, I created the white pumpkin and built the picture!! I used matte medium as my glue, then doodled and finished off the details!!
Just fun!! Have fun and make fun art!! GO!!
I so love your purple flowers, the details are so amazing ! Yes it is so frustrating when you cannot find something again !!!
