3D Yellow Iris sculpture created from hand wipes and watercolor, by Conni Schaftenaar
This was one of my two submissions this year to the Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts 2019. It was juried in and was on display at the Fed Gallery in Grand Rapids from late May to late June 2019.
This is the first time I've done anything like this, but I had such fun doing my other submission, which involved 3D flowers and butterflies mounted on a painting, that when this idea came to me, I pursued it. I experimented with rice papers, tissue paper, and a couple of other things. I was talking to my friend about the relative appearances of each when we were traveling in St. Paul, MN. We were in a restaurant in our hotel and our server heard some of what I said and commented, "try facial wipes".
I actually had some hand wipes that had dried out, so when I got home from the trip, I tested them, and liked the effect. The leaves gave me fits - so tall that it was hard to get them stif...
About Conni Schaftenaar
Thank you for visiting my FAA/Pixels gallery! Please note that the FAA watermark you'll see on images does NOT print on anything. My name is Conni Schaftenaar. I have had a life-long love of colorful art but always imagined that I wasn't talented enough to be someone who actually produced art that others liked. I began to learn some techniques from a watercolor instructor back in 2013, and I've been continuing the learning process ever since. I have had much joy in the comments and communications on FAA with other artists about my art, finding out that OTHER PEOPLE actually like my art! It's been a huge confidence booster to me to get that positive feedback, and I really appreciate it. I primarily paint in watercolor on various...

Conni Schaftenaar
Thanks, Laurel, I can't tell you how glad I am that you LOVE this iris lady as much as I do and that you have given her a wonderful home!
Laurel Adams
Awesome, Conni!…I am loving your mixture of “comfortable watercolour media” and the uncharted inspiration derived from an unproven, exploration effort of your original, traditional 2D watercolour background which you extend to UNcomfortable processes of painting, cutting, pulling and thereafter laminating and eventually forming 3D individual artpieces…in this case, with watercoloured hand wipes, plastic for petals and leafing, and watercoloured rice paper rhizomes of all things!!…how do I know these things? This beauty sits, domed, in my dining room (with ambient 68 degreed comfort) on a Queen Anne legged cherry occasional table, seasonally facing either her gilt framed iris family of my watercolour paintings or my acrylic painting, “Seasons in Laurelland”. ELEGANT, EXQUISITE! and containing the common thread visible in all of your work…Genius!
Conni Schaftenaar
Thanks so much, AnnaJo and Elizabeth! much appreciated!
