Rolled Roses Framed the Rooster & the Hen

All I can say is
FINALLY
I must have used 5 or 6 books for this project.
Cutting
Trimming
and mostly Rolling


I rolled while drinking my morning coffee

I rolled while being a passenger in the car (because we pretty much have to drive far to get wherever we want to get to - to get out of Baumholder)

I rolled when the pace was slow at work.


There were lots of book page rolled roses I kid you not.
I'd say it took me a month to roll and then glue the roses
onto the frames


around the Rooster & the Hen





When we lay each night to sleep
He the Rooster is on the left
and
I the Hen is on the right.


I am quite pleased with how they turned out.
Hugs to all and thanks for stopping by.

    Hi Amie - Thank you for your comment and following me. It took a lot of time (and lots of hot glue burns on my fingers) and looks so much better than the plain black frame the roses are nestled on.
    Cheers,
    Kay

    Like how your frames turned out, a real labor of love! I once stuck hundreds of flag toothpicks to make a wreath but that only took a few hours. I love the effects you used on your photos, a nice vintage feel. Thanks for stopping by, Laura

    After reading this the first time, I went out to the thrift shop and bought a stack of old Reader's Digest books. After reading this for the second time, I am wondering if I can truly stick to the project long enough to reach the beautiful result you reached! I love anything with book pages involved.

      Hi Kathy I am so excited to share my next project. These gloomy snowy days keeps me busy; otherwise I'd be outdoors with my pugs. Hope you have a great weekend too.
