Roses forever

Five roses with lots of love!

I received a very precious bouquet that I wanted to keep forever. In the beginning, they looked fresh and smelled good. The fragrance usually goes away quickly, and the water that I kept changing was not going to prevent the fact that the flowers would fade their colors and eventually die.

I wanted to do something! There's always a way to keep precious things and moments alive, as long it is our will.

I was determined not to throw away my five precious roses. What did I do?

I decided to make a painting with my five roses. And to do that, I first let the bouquet dry completely. Once the roses were dry, I cut and aligned them in my desired configuration. Only then do I decide the size of the cardboard. The cardboard was used as the surface of my painting and was covered with paper and glue to have more robust and thicker consists. After applying the primary paint, I used acrylic to paint the background. I also applied some color to the roses and leafs before gluing them. In the end, I sprayed everything with varnish and hung it on the wall.

Oh... That’s right! I had to glue two frame hooks in the top corners in the back. Voila!
