Here's the lowdown:
It was Christmas-time, and the time for presents and whatever. And I thought I'd paint something for everyone.
So out come my paints, and this is the result: Daisies for the girls, and plain green vines of leaves for the guys.
Looks a little like a lotus, doesn't it? But it isn't. It's just a purple-petaled flower, with a dark centre.
My first attempt at a sunflower. Sigh.
Here they are - as they liked to say in the Army - up standing :)
Why are they 'no more'?
Ahhhhh! Well. I used the wrong paint. I needed to use glass-paint for these. And I didn't.
I've since learnt that there are people who do work with these paints on glass, for semi-temporary designs. Perhaps on a window, or something that you'd like there for a while.
It dries to the touch. But when it touches water, it comes off.
So, I soaked these, and they're all washed clean now.
Ready for me to do them over. Another chance to try to get it right, eh?!
