bay window

One of my favorite roses is yellow with just a hint of pink around the outer edges of the petals. I think it is called the peace rose. Pretty.

Oh...good idea...I could go with yellow tissue paper and use pink pastels to color the outer edges, thanks much for the thoughts:-)

I just googled "peace rose"....lots of pictures of it. Some have real dark pink edges, the ones I like are a little more muted with the pink, but all are pretty and would probably give the rose some depth.

wow wow wow wow.... Karin this is looking fabulous.....

Thank you Patricia, that's so nice of you, I agree it would b nice if it was just kind of blushy pink on the outer leaves, I'll take a look at some of those. Although im lucky to get "sort of an illusion of a real rose"...not expecting them to b too realistic using tissue paper.

Thank you Kelly ;-) Its been fun doing this bay...Im not sure how Im going to feel about them when Im finished with all of the windows on this house though...yikes.

I know, tissue paper is not all that sturdy, and the roses are small, but probably with just very soft brush with some pastel chalk and a quick "sweep" over the rose should be enough.

I use to do scenes inside goose eggs, so I undertand what you are going thru making all these flowers and leaves!

Oh wow that sounds interesting...Id love to see pics if you have some.

Well - I have some pictures, but that was about 15 years ago and the pictures were not digital and I don't have a scanner to get them on to my computer.

Just a thought,if u have a digital camera now you could take a picture of the pictures:-)

Hi Karen, what a fabulous house and I admire you for cutting all the foliage and flowers by hand, it is really worth the effort.

Thanks for the encouragement:-)
