I enjoyed seeing everyone's pink pieces. There was so much variety and so many wonderful art pieces. This challenge has been a great inspiration to me. Once again I want to thank everyone for all the great comments. This week I made two atcs. I took my inspiration from all the flowers blooming at this time of year. I love seeing all the flowers during the summer. Here are my yellow pieces:
The idea for this atc came from a flower that is blooming in my garden right now. I first made a pale yellow background using wax pastel crayons. Then I thread sketched the flower in black and added color with wax pastel crayons. I had to add a bit of orange as well as yellow because the two go so well together. I added some ribbon on the edge with gold in it for my metallic accent.
For my sunflower I used the same method as my first atc. I added some colored fabric scraps to the edges. I wanted it to look like a window that you can see the flower through. I added gold paint to the middle of the sunflower to give it a bit of metallic.
I got the idea for both of these atcs from Quilting Art Magazine. I loved the article from the latest issue about thread sketching flowers and adding fabric scrap borders.
Here are some pictures of yellow flowers that my daughter took this week. Enjoy a bit of my summer.
Now off to find inspiration for brown week.
