Week 14: Growth Art Project

This week's art project is: As a symbol of showing your spouse you are willing to put the time and effort into your marriage to assure growth, create a pot of flowers.  You can simply buy a potted plant (ones that will last a long time) or create a beautiful bouquet that will never die.  Depending on your budget and creative skills, you could buy silk flowers and arrange them yourself, or create ones out of yarn, or even multi-colored and multi-patterned paper (it does not have to be 3-D).  You could use pipe cleaners, yarn, or paper for the stems.  If you like to draw, you could color or paint a beautiful bouquet and frame it.  You can write on the flowers or the pot words that express your commitment.  For example, you could write things such as, “love, romance, commitment, fun,” or “togetherness,” or a phrase such as, “Our love grows more beautiful with every passing day.”   

I used a small packing box for the planter and covered it in scrapbook paper.  The flowers are made from patterned tissue boxes.  The stems are straws covered in the same construction paper I used for the grass.  The middle of the flowers are hard to read, but they say, Friendship, Joy, Loyalty, Romance, & Spirituality.
