| Big Orange Flower |
This week, though, two people asked me why I haven't considered working on a larger scale. Not sure, but I like the idea of working on bigger projects. I guess my only hesitation is about where to store any finished pieces. I saw a photo last week of a life sized whale made of felt. I couldn't believe it. An incredible work to be sure, but it was stored in a warehouse. And that is a lot of wool! Think of the moth protection you'd need for something that magnificent in scale.
My version of working larger is today's Another Big Orange Flower, which measures 10" across (25.4 cm) and is made of wet felted wool and glass beads. One of my biggest brooches to date.
What scale do you enjoy working on most? What scale poses the biggest challenges?
Granddaughter Emmy, 6, saw Another Big Orange Flower and spontaneously said, "ooooooo! Pretty! Look!"
ReplyDeleteYup.
Ten inches? Whoa!
Love the radiant warmth, the gradations of color, and your stunning staging.
Thank you, Dotty! Little guys love orange!
ReplyDeleteBig flower....coming soon, teeny weenies. Tell Emmy to stay posted.
So this one is small? I LOOOVVVEEE this!. The wonky petals are all kinds of cool! The sunny colors, of course. Life size???? OMG. And ten inches sound big to me. Can't wait to see it :)
ReplyDeleteThis one is big! I love all the tiny things I see out there and decided to go big on this one. Next time I'll put something in for scale. Thank you :)
