At the workshop this past Saturday, several of you asked for the instructions on how I made flowers from used books. 

What I did was I took two thick books and cut apart the pages inside using an x-acto knife.  I then cut the pages into the square needed for the instructions.  I then followed these instructions.  It takes 6 petals per flower.  At the end, I took watercolor paint and added just a touch of paint inside each petal and then at the top to add a little color.  The rest of the flower I left open so the words on the paper show.
