Ranunculus Blossoms Made from Recycled Paper

This weekend I spent cleaning and organizing my office/studio. As I add more projects and tools, it seems to be an unending task. However, much of the mess ends up being piles of papers and catalogs to go through. That is my task for today. In order to make it a little more fun, I decided that I would try this neat project I found on T.Matthews blog. She commented that they look like ranunculus flowers, and that was my first thought when I saw them.

Instead of spending my time shredding and dumping the paper recycling basket today, I am going to cut swirls. Okay, it might take me a bit longer, but it will be so much more fun. =)

Here is the direct link to her post with the instructions:

Etsy seller and Junk Metal Artist, Dwayne Bulla, has come up with this most creative idea for a wine glass rack--it's an old metal rake. He calls it "Wine by the Tine." This would make a great conversation piece!
