Shape it

Good Morning my crafty pals , I have really enjoyed my blogging wander this morning and also reading the lovely comments left on my latest post. This was much better than any medicine after a night of trying to wish myself to sleep. Just when is this Indian summer going to arrive.
Well I have no card for you today but a crafty memory for me to store. I sometimes twirl the stems of my flowers and some I cut and yesterday I had a bit of stem from my bead swirl which I twisted round my finger. This is the result, I am not saying I am the first to do this but I did not copy it - I glued the stem flat to the scrap of paper and shaped it when it dried.

Sending crafty hugs to my followers and hope someone finds this useful. I suppose I should really have  been trowing those stems away but you never know what might be useful in our crafty world.  xx Flora

  1. Good morning Flora,
    Now!! I am going to be honest and tell you I am not quite getting this!!! Did you do it to get shape in the paper??? If so Yes!! I can see where your coming from.
    Sorry I am having a trying time at the moment with this new phone. My poor brain is rather frazzled, will call back later to have another look...............sorry to be so stupid.
    Happy Crafting

  2. Yes Patricia I did, I thought it would be useful for my die cut leaves and also shaping and strengthening the swirls I like using. xx Flora

  3. Hi Flora,
    I too was a bit miffed, till you explained to Patricia. I think because the camera enlarges everything it looked so different. Now I'm really thinking about it I can see how this can help.
    Have a wonderful crafty day.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    Tell you my brain (what there is of it) is frazzled tying to work out how to use this new phone.
