March 12


I've been away a while but now i'm b..a..c..kkk. Even though i've been too busy to make new art every day i have re-styled a few old pieces which is an art in itself, lol.
March 12 and 13 were the originals of my contributions to a little fat book; i resized them a little and layered them over a mulberry type paper.
The big flower is a bloom of Clematis Montana. Although the color has mellowed out with age now it was pure white when i first pressed it. Its a very sturdy thick bloom and this specimen is tiny in comparison to the size it usually produces. When creating pressed flower art big usually means unusable.
The smaller flowers are cherry blossoms which are thin and delicate. The bckgrds of both consist of paper napkins; the writing, fish, music and the candles.
