Chinese Lantern Flowers

I always loved these flowers, they remind me of exquisite hand dyed paper…I just happened to lay a sprig on my desk next to this Rainbow Skinner blend.The blend is  Premo

• Red Brilliant
• Zinc Yellow
• Cobalt Blue

It will be interesting to see if the flowers retain their brilliant colors as they dry.

Custom Curves…

One of the most fabulous things about a tissue blade is that they can be curved when cutting to make lovely shapes. If you have a need in your work to replicate the same curve over and over OR a need to cut some really tight curves the blade can be customized. The blade pictured here was heated with a butane torch until red hot, bent and then allowed to cool.
