Nice!
Maybe just lightly spray or spatter the Sprite can leaves with a fine mist of green, or maybe 'dry brush' a bit of metallic green on them? Let some of the original colors show through.
In my opinion, a solid leaf green paint would be detracting.
What did you use for the center of the flower?
Very good idea.

I love it just the way it is! Great example of pop art. Should we be calling you Andy Warhol II? I think it is cool as is, I wouldn't do a thing to change it.

Ahhh, your flower center looks familiar! Here's one of my "barnwood blooms" I made last summer..

Your popcan art reminded me of it! Did you use "pennies" for grassy/field background? Interesting colorful pc! TFS! Jeanne S.

Very nice!! A little green- DecoArt Moss pearl metallic or Folk Art671 Metallic Peridot feathered around leaf edges might look cool otherwise I think it looks fine I've never seen Sprite in cans, so don't know what colors are on cans. Experiment on another leaf to see how it looks, might add a faint rib down the center of leaf(same color as edges) to make it more defined. I just got the Moss pearl Metallic as i thought it was so pretty. Michael's I think it was $2.29 for the 2 oz bottle.If you have 40% coupon that will help. You are brave to be cutting up cans, I'd cut myself so I'm to chicken to try stuff like that! Jan

Cool!

VERY cool! Love the center of the flower too!

Always good to see fun pieces. TFS

thanks all.

Jeanne you gave me the idea with your pic I found before I started, so that was my starting point. I have to admit, yours is much better, but I'm learning as I go. Yes, those are pennies. Experimenting, you know.

sunny and rusty, I'll try your leaf ideas as that's the only part of the project I really don't care for. we'll see how it turns out.
thanks all!

Nah, whiteoak! Your POP ART pc is very original! Those ladles are wonderful, aren't they? I'm always on the outlook for another one!

Pennies! What a great 3-D item for your pc & also the natural twigs/sticks! Glad you are finding winter projects & looking forward to spring! Jeanne S.

Very original and very well done. The pennies are a great idea. The leaves look good to me, I drink Fresca and it's bright green can would be cool for leaves. I made 3-d can flowers on sticks and painted them, but I really like the cans unpainted to.

How about Ginger Ale cans? Or generic brands?

jeannespines, are your flower petals also cut from soda cans?

Ogre Mom

ogremom...my petals are painted with acrylics & then sprayed with clear Rusteoleum.

whiteoak...I hope you're ready to put this wonderful
"pop art" pc out in your gardens! Enjoy! Jeanne S.

Just love that "barnyard bloom"

I want one...I want one...I want

Ooooppppssss.... sorry I got a bit carried away *G*

It was fun to look at this again. This time I'm reminded that my pop can airplanes that I used to have faded and kind of fell apart eventually. It might be a good idea to pur some clear protective coating on tho I'm not sure what.

Neat stuff! :D
I'm too chicken to try the pop can art.
I like your branch fence. How did you attach them?
