RE: Dry Flowers 8 - Original Art and Video

in #art7 years ago

Thanks! The petals stick to the wet paint, so once the paint drys they are stuck on there forever... So I don't really have to use the polyurethane but I just like the glossy look it gives afterwards. It also protects the dry leafs/petals from further deterioration over time. Since they are exposed to air they probably would change color or crack over time...

Cool!! It looks really pretty as it is!! I've seen leaves discolor like you said so was wondering about that!! My father in law used to do a lot of art with leaves but never did any kind of sealing. He would always say "I'll just make another one with prettier leaves". He was a shop teacher in the school system so he always liked making things! Thanks @dksart!!
