AEDM Day 19 - Flower Sketches

I'm getting ready for my collage quilt class tomorrow night.

I had already done a drawing of what I want to make - a vase of flowers -

but didn't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about what I had drawn.

Today I put more thought into what I'd like to create, 

and what kind of flowers I love.

I've always loved the simplicity of carnations and baby's breath,

but they might be a bit too simple.

I really love the drama of anemones, in rich reds and purples,

and gerbera daisies have great potential for a textural piece of fiber art.

I also like the shape of the common alstroemeria, with its graceful petals and twisted leaves.

I've decided that I want to use rich, deep reds and deep purples, with greens and golds,

so I have a bit more planning and sketching to do 

before the class!

These are purely sketches, micron pen and colored pencil over a pencil drawing.

I have to come up with a clearly outlined drawing, so I have work to do!!

Hope your day is a good one!!
