July meeting- Pinch Petals






This month we had a fun little project. We learned how to make pinch petals. We started out by making a nice pastel rainbow blend. Taking a slice off of a rainbow skinner blend, we stepped it down with a block of translucent. It's amazing how little of the original blend you need to tint the translucent.
the next step in the process is to roll the blend into a snake, with the color blend running from head to tail. Notice how in this example the color is not thoroughly blended? It should make for some interesting petals!
Can't wait to see how these all turn out! I'm hoping next month for show and tell we will have many pinch petals leis to ohh and ahh over!
