Hi i just joined here yesterday. I have been dipping in and out of Joanna's craft site and realised just yesterday that it had a forum attached, so here i am folks! Mad about Roses!
I chose the name as i really am mad about roses. Any flowers, but roses are my fave flower.
I have a grown up family who have all kindly flown the nest so i can take over their bedrooms as craft rooms, so i don't get in hubby's way!!LOL

I have done crafts for quite a few years, even making it into my job. I trained as a C&G Tutor 8 years ago, to teach at my local Adult Education College, although now they don't fund Art and Craft leisure courses as much as they used to.
I love to make my own backing papers painting roses, either in watercolour or decorative painting, my avatar is one of my own rose paintings.
I have recently got into making very realistic paper roses, cutting petals and painting them realistically and shaping them before assembling them. They make fantastic embellishments for special cards, and when they are done life sized they are absolutely gorgeous! I used to do Floral Punch craft flowers, but much prefer the ones i do now. I do a wide range of craft, as most crafters do.
Anyway enough about me, i am off for a sally round and join in posting.
Hugs Roses.
