April 2016. Felts. Day 17. Sea Rose

| Sea Rose |
Yesterday, got out all the blues, greens, and some purples in the Merino and started layering them. It doesn't show in this daylight photo that the base color of this piece is actually teal. I took several photos, but it still looks like a predominantly blue blossom. Pulling out thin tufts of several colors and layering them before wet felting resulted in a blend of subtle shading, almost like putting a watercolor wash over a painting. Popped a few deep red beads in the center for decoration. Looking at it reminds me of the colors you'd see in an ocean painting, with the various shades of blue and green hinting at the water's depth and the amount of sun reflecting off the surface.
Sea Rose is made of wet felted Merino with stone beads.
LLLOOOOVVVEEEE! I know I tell you taht a lot but it is true. This makes me think of a Spanish dancer in her ruffled glory. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis one is similar in color to the one you got, only with teal. Why is it that the greens kind of disappear in pics? Need to make a lightbox and shoot properly. Ha, ruffly like a swirling skirt! thank you :)
