While I took the weekend off I did work my butt off to get you fresh flowers this week. I was feeling the blues and the teals when I was beading. It's funny how sometimes the colors just flow and the flowers tend to make themselves. That was definitely the case with these two new lilies.
The first teal lily is really a play on texture and depth within one color. I used transparent, silverlined, and stain finish beads to get the rich shading in the petals.
Whereas with the blue and lime lily, contrast is really what makes this lily pop. Both have faceted fire polished glass beads on their stamens.
I think these three flowers would look amazing together. It didn't really occur to me until I started typing up this post. I put the yellow flower in because I've decided to join/follow along with Leslie Saeta's blog challenge, 30 Marketing Ideas in 30 days. She's an amazing painter that Mom has followed for a while. Her challenge is more geared toward painters, in fact I think I'm the only nonpainter among them. But marketing is something all artists trying to sell their work need to do. And a challenge sounds like an excellent way for me to improve my marketing skills. So here we go!
Today's challenge was to post an older piece and give it some new light. Well thanks to this post I'm loving this yellow flower again. It's bright and sunny, and summer. Which pairs perfect with tropical water colored lilies above. Tonight I'll snap a picture of the three flowers together. Stop by my FaceBook page to see.
