Lotus Flower Spoon Art

Here is my Lotus flower made entirely out of spoons as you see. I cut the handles off of the spoons, individually painted each spoon scoop with acrylic paint, and then hot glued them together to form this flower. I chose to give it the ombre effect from the center out because I think it highlights the detail and effort that was put into this project. (Also because I think it looks a lot better than just painting them all one color). The lily pad is one dimensional because I wanted the flower to have a 3D look, as if it were coming up from out of the water. I look forward to criticism, as I may end up creating a pond scene around this flower. Hope you guys like it, thanks! ~Britt 

Project #1- Quilling

 The idea behind this project is embracing your natural beauty. She has a dragonfly on the top of her head that kind of acts like a queen's crown. She also has the words Natural Beauty and a flower hidden in her hair as these are things of nature; natural beauty. Last, there are several hearts in her hair because she loves who she is. (Every piece of paper was hand rolled and shaped which took a LONG time, but was worth it in the end).
