I picked up a great little magazine at the stand the other day. I’ve found that there are a lot of little indy magazines I am totally in love with here in Brasilia. My new favorite is a work by Benê Paulo: Garrafas Pet.
It’s a magazine about making plants from a little paint and a few 2 liter bottles. He uses scissors, a few staples, wire, and a lighter to shape the blossoms and stems of some really fun little plants. I’m gonna be able to keep these guys alive – wink -
I’m so very impressed!! Check out the web page for the magazine here: Garrafas Pet
For a step-by-step of how he created the Violets from the image start here and follow the directions, which are in portuguese, but the photos are pretty easy to follow.
Please reply with photos of your plastic flowers, I’d love to post them!
Very pretty but not sure I could do them. I don’t have the patience for some of that smaller stuff. I like to quilt.
hey love them will you be posting more PET flowers in the future.
