Back in the Studio
After a tough day yesterday with the Memorial Service for our Fallen Fire Fighters, I knew I needed to get in to my Quiet Place and get Up to my Elbows in Paint. Ok, it's never really 'quiet'....maybe 'quiet for me':)
I have been Dreaming of making Torn Flowers so I could display my Awesome Collection of "Things-I-Found-on-the-Side-of-the-Road". So I knew today was the day. There are Bottle Caps, Buttons and other What Nots:)
The Summer of Color Scheme for the week is Yellow and Candy Apple Red....LOVE it! I used the "Splatter Flower" Technique from this Fantastic Video by Tammy on her Blog "My Flower Journal". Here's what I came up with:)
I used Glossy Mod Podge and it made it really Difficult to get a pic that wasn't Shiny. Here's a few other shots:
These Final two are my Tribute to our Fire Fighters. Prayers, Love And Scriptures are included all over them:) Altogether there are 19 Petals in all, each Specifically, Lovingly Prayed over:)
I plan on adding more to these two- when I do I'll post a little Mini- How to!
What have you been working on since the Heat Hit? I'd love to know!
Love to all!
Love,Love,Love these pages! What a nice tribute to the firefighters. Thanks for linking to my blog. Happy Creating!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy! I am so happy to let everyone know about your technique and your art. Are you on Google Plus at all? I am trying to figure out how to put a link on there too. If you have any hints let me know:)
DeleteMolly, these are beautiful!! And such a touching tribute to such brave firefighters.
ReplyDeleteI *thought* I would love the color scheme this week, as I voted for it! But so far, I've got nothin'!! LOL! I think I'm too preoccupied with getting ready for our trip to your state on Sat.! I laid down a background today...we'll see what happens tomorrow ;)
Patricia,
DeleteI had a lot of trouble with Grey and Pale Pink last week. I drew a blank for days:) I am excited to see what you come up with. Are you on Flickr so I can see all your juicy work?
Molly, I 'm only on Flickr for ICAD, but my SOC work is on my blog: www.magentamatters.blgspot.com
DeleteAnd BLESS you for helping out at the service for the firefighters...what a blessing!!
Patricia,
DeleteOk- I'll go check that out. I love Magenta Matters...must have just missed it on there:)
Beautiful. An absolutely gorgeous tribute.

Your welcome Allie and thanks for popping over!
DeleteJust gorgeous, beautiful, touching, and absolutely wonderful tribute. And I want to tell you how much I love how you used these colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sharon! I'm so glad you stopped by:) I'm going to go look for you out there in cyberspace:)
ReplyDeleteI struggled with these colours together, but I love your flowers. So richly layered and lush.
