Thank you all for your kind words as I celebrate my first article in Somerset Studio! Good news is always better when it is shared with friends. As I am writing this I am deep in negotiations with YouTube, my internet provider, and my computer. Apparently there is discord in my electronic world and they won’t work together to upload this video! I am confident that my heavy sighs of frustration will somehow make them all get along and let my video upload…
This flower was made with artist tape which is no surprise this wee! How long a piece of tape you use and how wide it is determines your final flower size. I used a piece that was about 2 and half feet long for the blue flower. The center was a bit, well, ugly. A strand of small beads came to the rescue. I had this canvas camera bag from Donna Downey that I added watered down iridescent paints to give it a shimmery blue color. I hadn’t been able to find the right element to put on the flap- got that solved now!
***I had almost given up but the peace talks have been successful and a treaty has been signed! My video is now working!!
Very creative and bravo to you for being published ~ namaste, carol (A Creative Harbor) Happy PPF ^_^

Love the camera bag and your creativity with it. The flower is amazing. Congrats on publishing. Blessings, Janet PPF
cool video and you make it look so easy… I am sure I would still manage to injure myself… tape cuts and gluing fingers together immediately spring to mind… thanks for uploading this …xx

Very clever idea…Yay! For the article in Somerset Studio! I LOVED it! I read it…purchased what I needed and had a blast making lots of strips of fun colorful tape. This flower is another one I’ll have to try. Thank you for sharing…can’t wait for more vids and ideas…..too fun!
well THAT’s a fun little trick! thanks for sharing the video- no way I could have figured it out from text only, but the video made it very clear.

I stopped by earlier in the week, then before I could leave a comment, I had to move to the basement because I was under a tornado warning. Now I’m trying to play catch up. I thoroughly enjoyed the week of tape uses. Fun, fun!
Congrats on being published. Beautiful rose and lovely choice of colour.
Adorable flower. I really like the quick video – no talking – just do it!
Well, I guess you wonder why I am way back here. I found your archives and decided to watch ALL the videos. My goal is to watch two a day and try to use the same technique. Hopefully I will catch up in a month or so. Artist tape- I am not familiar with this. Does it come in different colors or do you color it? Where do you get it?
