April 2016. Felts. day 29. Red and white
 |
| Red and White |
Experimenting again with process. There are a lot of tutorials out there that show how to make a flower all in one piece and still have the look of separate petals. Here, I made each petal individually with layers of cherry red and thin wisps of white for veining and color variation. The whole piece is then assembled with needle felting and a few stitches added in to hold the tiny beads in place. A big piece, it measures about 7" (about 18 cm). Theme for the day...think big!
Happy Friday and how many red things will you see today that surprise and delight you?
The white for veining and contrast makes this piece—love how the white kind of "outlines" without literally outlining. I like your invitation to think BIG. I have some facets of my life where I could stand to break out of my smallness into, if not HUGE, at least bigger.
ReplyDeleteWorking big sounds fun! My thought is always, it I decide to, I can chop it up (mmmmm, who else does the chopper thing? :) and make it into minis.
DeleteLove the rough edges and uneven coloring. BEE-U-TEE-FUL!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am liking the idea of uneven, asymmetrical...outside the box for me, but a good thing!
