Wedding Roses

Remember all the wedding roses I made a few months ago?  Here is the backdrop into which they went.  Amy wound up filling in the gap and said that there must be 100 on the screen.  I contributed about 20.  It turned out beautiful and the photographer will rent out the screen for weddings--cool.

Here are the remaining x-large wedding flowers for a backdrop commissioned about two months ago for S'more Couture.  The commissioner found the idea on a blog post, The White Wedding by Therese Jacinto.  Can anything be more beautiful? dreamy? gorgeous?  I don't think we've made enough to cover a whole backdrop but maybe the person can put something together.  Sidenote:  There's no amount of money offered to get me to make this many flowers--very time-consuming.

These are part of a commission.  The person wants to make a backdrop to rent for weddings.  I have two more very large flowers, 14-20 inches, to make and I've already been paid--though $100 seems small now that I spent 11-12 hours making these.  I guess that's about right for a crafter (I'm getting over it because I really like doing these and loving one's job is significant.)  I make $30.00 an hour teaching piano and $40.00 an hour teaching organ but I'm totally burned out on teaching keyboard and I've gladly traded it for crafting.  Yes, thank you, God.
