Wildflowers WIP and Done

18 years ago

I'm sorry I hadn't posted the WIP. I haven't had a lot of time to spend on the internet, so I've waited until I was done. I received a clothes catalog (J Crew) this past week and they had a dress with these big flowers all over it. I just went with it and drew some flowers. Here is my beginning drawing and the final product that I grouted last night. It is 12x12 on plywood.

    Oh so beautiful in that wonderful style you have - just FABULOUS!!!

    Oh, my goodness, how talented you are! To be able to take and idea, draw it and turn it into such a beautiful piece. Way beyond me. I love it, the flowers have such movement to them and the grass looks like it is waving in the breeze. Great Job!

    Lovely - but then it looks like some of my windows so I'm partial to your design!!

    Great picture of you in the faces gallery, btw. Not at all as I pictured you - but you sure are gorgeous!

    Thanks for the nice comments. In the dreary wintertime, I am looking forward to spring and have been wanting to use bright colors.

    Wench - thanks for the compliment - I was nervous showing myself... It's funny how we think someone looks in our heads.

    Thank you for all the compliments. My darn phone is out at home and I can't get on the internet - have to wait until I am here at work. I'm trying to be in a lighter, more happy mode in my mosaic right now since my mood has not been light.

  • 18 years ago

    It's really lovely! And you should buy the dress so you can match!
    Makes me so happy to look at especially in January!
