Hydrangea in Progress



Wow how did it get to be Friday already? Because we are home without family this week I thought I was going to get lots done in the studio.

I guess I didn't count on no work in the studio on Thursday and then decorating for Christmas today. Well that's almost over and I did accomplish a little studio work as well. I've been working on a rather large piece with this photograph as my inspiration.

I was able to finish the first phase of this piece on Wed. I need to make sure everything is in place and then press well. The next phase calls for hi-lights and shadows but I haven't decided yet whether I am going to use paint or fabric. Then again I might use both. I'm really hoping to get that started tomorrow.

I am going to add a confetti background, I think, but then again I might decide on a solid. When I get to that point I will audition fabric before I decide. Maybe I will even get to that point tomorrow. Do I sound a little wishy-washy here. Yes, buy that's just the way I work.
I'm excited with how this piece is developing.

    A "confetti" background? Do I want to know just how small the pieces are?!

      Margaret, confetti can be any size small/tiny to make the scene receed to larger for up closer. Great use for the rotary cutter.

      Thanks Kathy I am loving working on this piece. I had grown tired of working on my botanicals but the confetti technique renewed my interest along with the beautiful photo. I'm loving it.
