May Flower Challenge • Still Playing with Cut Flowers

Marks on Cut Paper Flowers • May Flower Challenge • Day Twenty-Nine

Mark making on cut paper flowers for day Twenty-nine of The May Flower Challenge .

This challenge has been started by Lori Moon, fellow blogger, talented photographer and jewelry artisan.

It appears that I wasn't quite finished with my cut paper flowers. As I was filing away my cut flowers from a previous project for the challenge I thought some mark making might be fun. I pulled out the Sharpies® started giving the flowers some personality They have become even more alive an interesting. Wonder what tomorrow will bring, stay tuned.

Make sure to visit the other artists who are participating in the challenge at Lori Moon's website. I love challenges like this because it helps build reference material for your body of work, it adds to your sketchbook, portfolio, motif library if you are a Surface pattern designers and so on. Make it work for you.

The Color Pink.....

The color of unconditional love and nurturing.

Encourages action, friendliness and confidence.

Normally associated with girls and femininity.

In Japan it has a masculine association.

Considered the sweet side of red.

Referred to at times as the color of love.

Elsa Schiaparelli introduced "hot pink" to western fashion.

May Flower Challenge • Visual Texture in Scabiosa Pods

Scabiosa Pods • May Flower Challenge • Day Twenty-Seven

The visual texture of Scabiosa for day Twenty-seven of The May Flower Challenge .

This challenge has been started by Lori Moon, fellow blogger, talented photographer and jewelry artisan.

Scabiosa, a perrenial, also known as the pincushion flower. As you deadhead the spent flowers she rewards you with more blooms. I pulled these out of the garden to photograph because of the textural beauty. The pods definitely invite a drawing to happen. A wonderful plant to have in the garden. Scabiosa attracts birds and butterflies. It also provides a source of nectar for bees and butterflies. I love how the pods give the plant a second act after blooming. Enjoy!
