June 2012: Buds and Blossoms

Creative Growth: Deborah Powell

Gardens are beginning to bloom throughout the Northern Hemisphere and we are delighted to see the return of the natural beauty of flowers here at Unruly PaperArts!

This month, we will be taking a botanical turn as we explore how we can use buds, blooms and other natural elements in our art as inspiration, images, embellishments or elements.


There's some fantastic ideas for floral printing, some fabulous flower-inspired art and even a paper clay bouquet!  What better way to plant great creative ideas ready to blossom over the Summer than to spend June with UPA!
