Aluminium Roses

Annikki has for many many years been doing a lot of design work with scrap materials.

I used to wonder why she was keeping sacks of small aluminium containers which are used to sell the small candles.

Then, all of a sudden, aluminium roses started to appear around the house.

As depicted in the picture, the small aluminium container can be seen in the inset picture. Several of these were used to be converted, with some deft handiwork, into beautiful aluminium roses.

Since the aluminium containers were either silver or gold tinted in colour, Annikki mixed the colours to get some really good effects.

Thanks to Kannan for lending me a great camera to get these high quality photographs.

I will try to capture as much as possible of Annikki's great art, both inside and outside the house, so that we can have some reasonable quality pictures.
