This week's colour prompt for this year's new Summer of Colour was Citron Green and Turquoise. For inspiration I played about with gelli printing using just those two colours, and I then used a couple of the prints for the background. I also used a stamp I carved of a fern leaf, and added stencilled dots and shapes.
Some detail shots - showing the 3D butterfly, and details of the background gelli prints.
The two colours haven't quite gelled for me in this mosaic, but I thought I'd include it anyway as I'd done the work on it! The cat was made by my mum who loved working in clay, the butterfly wing and beetle are from my collection of dead things - isn't he gorgeous! And as you can see from the Alchemella Mollis in the centre, we've been having a lot of rain!
Great job. Love all your photos, excellent color. Love your 3D butterfly. :)
ReplyDeleteI love these colours! They just sing :-). You obviously share your talent with your mum, the cat is deceptively simple in line yet is essence of felinenessness! And the Lady's Mantle ought to be covered with diamonds.... Gorgeous pic.
