This week over at the Summer of Color the challenge was to work with purple and lime green. My immediate thought was the Iris and the garden, and I decided to do a series of index cards based on garden design and it's history - a subject I love and keep going back to. The index cards are for the ICAD challenge over at Daisy Yellow.
Some close-up shots of the cards
Oh, WOW! Spectacular little pieces of art; love them!! Especially the beadwork!
ReplyDeleteI love these, Diana! They're really beautiful and once again I love how you used the fabric to such great effect on the paper. Love them!!

So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, those close up shots blow me away, as always. What a great theme to use for these colors! So, do you sew those tiny circles with a sewing machine, or by hand? I don't have a sewing machine, and I'm trying to imagine the old one of my Mom's doing this sort of thing - not a chance!
ReplyDelete...WOW Diana, I don't know where to begin, STUNNING for starters!, beautiful work, the gorgeous jewel colours are so alive and vivid, and those pretty beads too...what a wonderful start to the day seeing your blog...Mel:)x
