sunflower

17 years ago

I used a lamp shade to make this flower.I also used metal flashing for the leaves and PVC for the stem.I'm also in the process of keeping old fan blades to make different ones.{{gwi:181213}} the hat to the right is one my sister gave me.We(my sister,sister in law,and me made birdhouses out of them.I used half marbles and beads and painted it purple.Sad to say but I got no birds but pretty birdhouse anyways :)

Love the sunflower. I'm a sunflower person. Would like to know what you are going to do with the fan blades because I have been saving some for something.

TERRIFIC sunflower! WOW.

Ok, so now I know why I have so little imagination and creativity...I was standing in line behind you and there wasn't any left. LOL.

I was wondering about painting the fan blades bright colors and adding a plain white saucer in the middle with a cute face painted on it. Would that work or look good?

Great flowers! The purple hat looks really cute. Great work!
I have ceiling fan blades that I'll paint and glue together like petals of a flower. I'll glue a cup & saucer(Smickerdoodles SJJ gift) for the middle of the flower & attach it all to a piece of horse fence. Then, I'm going to attach the fence to a metal frame of an old fold out table, stand it on it's end & use it for a trellis beside my strawberries. Just hope the final outcome looks as good as it does in my head!
