Making Skull Flowers This Valentine's Day

I just completed an array of new Skull Flowers and added them to my big cartel shop.  They were so much fun to create, I thought I would show you how I make them.

First, I make lightweight clay heads and hand paint with acrylics.

I then paint wooden dowels for the stems.

After attaching the skulls to the stems, I cut the petals from old book pages.

I then choose bottles from my antique collection and hand paint with enamel.

Cute paired together!

These look awesome anywhere in your house any time of the year! Great conversation starters for that unsuspecting visitor...
