May Flower Challenge - Day 22 - Tie Dye Painted Flowers

I'm fascinated with flowers. 
They are all over my tiny apartment. I photograph them all the time.
I draw, paint, doodle them, create them out of paper...I also see them all over NYC. 
Each day during May I will post flowers and I hope that you will join in.
The only rule is that your blog post or flickr photo that you link much contain flowers.

I've been playing around in 21 Secrets,
learning new techniques,
new products,
and simply having fun.

I've adapted one technique
and painted some tie dye flowers.

Outlining the flower in water.


Then touching the water outline
with the paint.


Tucker sat in the window
and watched as I painted.


A few minutes later he decided that he 
was supposed to be the center of attention.


He had a little purple and orange 
paint on him when he got up.
Giggle.

Thanks for visiting!

A few of you playing along have highlighted
seed pods during my May Flower Challenge.
Bravo!
I love the shape, the beauty, 
the flower that is frozen in time.







Remember to enjoy the beauty of a flower at every stage.

Thanks for stopping by and playing along.

On Monday's I typically do a Soul Whispers 
I've linked one of my favorite so you can check it out.

Tulips, they always remind me of my parents house.
My Mom has hundreds of tulips planted in her gardens.

Do flowers remind you of people?
Share your story in the comments.
I'd love to hear about it.

Superman and I were in Greenwich Village today.
This means that we were also at Anthropologie
(it is just too close in proximity to pass by).

What do you do with the shopping bags
that your favorite stores give you?

I re-purpose or upcycle them into gift bags.

I've made these scribble flowers forever.
I love their imperfections.
(I also twist wire into pendants in this shape.)




What do you do with your shopping bags?
Have you ever thought of reusing them?

I have walked past this place of worship
many, many times.
It was only today that I noticed the flowers.






When I walk by it in the future
I will always see the flowers.

Have you noticed any flowers lately
that you normally walk right past?
