Relaxation – My marriage to Life

I finally have some time to sit and chat a bit. Lately, I have been working on arts and crafts stuff. I discovered I like to create paper flowers and decorated vases. It is so relaxing and takes my mind to a different place. It can take me anywhere from two to four hours to make a flower from paper. I like the process of cutting and arranging these beautiful items.

An interesting fact is I don’t like live flowers. They look pretty for a while, but then they die. They draw bugs and require you to do everything you can to prolong the process of death. I was never a fan of plants or flowers. There is a tree in my front yard and looks pretty when the flowers are blooming. Then the tree turns into a horror scene with moss hanging and branches falling everywhere.

Papers flowers are pretty and last long without any maintenance required. You can be creative with the flowers you make. You can make what you want, different kinds, you arrange them any way you choose. I love colorful flowers. Flowers can bring out any room. Very eye-catching and unique. I do have to admit it is time-consuming to create and put them together. The best part of this process is when I have completed the arrangement. I love the way they turn out. I started accepting requests for flowers. I plan to advance my talent.

Below are some examples of my creations
