Not Quite Ready for Prime Time Theater
I was wandering around on the web today and found this great segment that AQS taped for me at the Des Moines Show this Fall.
This is a very nice tutorial for making flowers out of simple shapes. They taped this the last day of the show. I ran in and babbled like a brook.
But I found it and listened to it today. I didn't ummm. And it felt as good to listen to it as to do it.
Build some cool flowers. For heaven's sake leave the patterns out. Build something wild, while you're under the gun. It is, after all, time honored.
