A ROSE TUTORIAL FROM 'CASTLE IN THE AIR'...

HERE'S HOPING EVERYONE HAD A SAFE AND HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, HERE IN THE STATES!

I WANT TO SHARE A LOVELY TUTORIAL I DISCOVERED ON YOU TUBE TODAY.  IT IS MAKING ROSES FROM CREPE PAPER.

THIS IS NOT YOUR NORMAL CREPE PAPER ROSE.  THIS ONE IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!

THERE IS A STORE IN BERKLEY, CALIFORNIA WHERE THE VERY SPECIAL CREPE PAPER CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE, INCLUDING TEMPLATES FOR THE ROSES TOO.

AREN'T THESE ROSES GORGEOUS??? THEY ARE ALL CREATED FROM CREPE PAPER.

AS YOU SEE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPH, THESE CREPE PAPER ROSES ARE DIVINE!

THE SUPPLIES ARE LISTED ON THE YOU TUBE LINK, AND YOU CAN CLICK ON 'SHOW MORE' WHEN YOU GET TO THE VIDEO.  IT WILL TELL YOU WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE THE CREPE PAPER, AND THE ROSE TEMPLATE.

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE YOU TUBE VIDEO: CREPE PAPER ROSES.  I KNOW YOU WILL ENJOY CREATING THESE ROSES!

JUST SOMETHING SWEET TO CREATE FOR ALL OCCASIONS. ENJOY!

WOW! IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG SINCE I HAVE POSTED!

MY GOODNESS!!!

'WHERE SHALL I BEGIN?'  OKAY, THAT IS THE FIRST LINE OF 'LOVE STORY' THE SONG...

BUT, AH, ME THINKS LIFE IS MORE THAN JUST A LOVE STORY, AND I HAVE NEVER BELIEVED THE LINE IN THE MOVIE WHICH SAID: "BEING IN LOVE IS NEVER HAVING TO SAY I'M SORRY"...

SAYING I'M SORRY TAKES PASSION, AND HUMBLENESS.  TO LOVE IS DIVINE BUT TO FORGIVE IS FOREVERNESS....

OPHELIA

I DO LIKE FINE ART...AND THE STORY OF OPHELIA IS POIGNANT TO FORGIVENESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS LINE OF THOUGHT, MAYBE IT IS JUST TO SHARE SOME PASSIONATE ART! WHICH IS WHAT MY BLOG IS REALLY ALL ABOUT!

A VERY RARE TAPESTRY

I DO LOVE UNICORNS! THOSE ENCHANTING BEASTS OF BEAUTY, WHOSE HORNS BRING HEALING TO THOSE WHO ARE TOUCHED CARESSINGLY BY THEM.


TRISTAN AND ISOLT

MASTERPIECES ABOUT DEATH ALSO INTRIGUE ME.
