A big pink target, what can I say? Graphic, punchy, and hey, if your name happens to be Kirk, or Karen, or Khan...it has your initial on it!
Happy Turkey day tomorrow, in celebration of all things thankful, the daily (elle)ement will be sleeping past noon, and saving the next one for Friday. Enjoy!
In the pink! Those of you who follow me on Facebook know that I spent some time last week carving paisleys. They are for a commission I am working on, perhaps I'll show it off when it's finished. Until then, here is a tiny element of the piece. (see what I did there!)
Looks like I have to catch up on some numbering here.
In the meantime, here's the other half of the Chrysanthemum from yesterday. Now time to get back to the studio to see what I can pull together for a big Friday finish.
A rather busy little abstract composition, a bit of a blue grey chrysanthemum on a warm yellow background. Lots of diagonal lines from the sewing pattern it's printed on. And I think the other half may just be tomorrow's.
Sometimes the blues can be quite tropical. This color combination reminds me of the South of France, where it was abundant in textiles when I first visited. It is still one of my favorites.
Another bluesy number. The color just isn't right in this shot though, what looks like pale grey is actually a robin's egg blue, and the deep blue is what I would call teal. Just doing the best with what I have here folks!
Starting here, with number 1265, an ultramarine blue over a Wedgewood-ish blue background. Keep checking in this week to see how pretty the blues can be.
A beautiful damask pattern in cornflower blue and pea soup green. An odd sounding combination, but it works, elegantly. This pattern was designed by my husband, Scott. It really is handy to have a guy around, who when you are pushed for time, can step up to the plate and come up with something so lovely.
A bit of a knot. Not a naughty piece, but a knotty piece. Red on rice paper over a pale buttery yellow. I see lots of red (elle)ements lately, wouldn't they make a nice group?
A deviled egg on a bright red. The flecks of white are the visible fibers from the rice paper the egg is printed on. Sure to add a little retro pop. Enjoy.
A shooting star, complete with a trail made from the dart lines on pattern tissue. Charcoal grey on a yellow ochre background. Happy Friday, see you back here with a new batch on Monday!
