WELCOME back - it's so good to be here again. I've been away and super busy lately with a 3 day river festival market in Rockhampton last weekend, with stock for the shop, with teaching classes and with family - none of whom live close by.
So it's lovely to be back and this week we are taking inspiration from the Garden Lane DSP colour palette- so many greens.
.
I have a project which I have been working on to teach at Injune in central Qld next month so a few friends had a practice run today. Three ladies created the same basic design but you can see how individual differences are so wonderful, and how different background pieces change the whole look of the project.
The central panel of 6x6" is watercoloured using only Mossy Meadow, but everyone's turned out different.
The magnolias are created from Whisper White with Daffodil Delight centres.
The individual sticks also shaped how each person's finished up based on where the natural curves of the stick privided the best spot for the flowers.
This is Katrina's on the Garden Lane background.
This is Sharon's centre panel on a green piece of DSP from the Perennial Essence pack of DSP.
But this is how she actually mounted it - the Opal coloured sheet of DSP from the Floral Essence paper - how amazing the change.
And this is Heather's placed on the linen look piece of DSP from the Pressed Petals Suite - I love this look- and I love how everyone's centre watercolour panel are quite different.
and this is it on a different sheet from the Floral Essence pack.
I did also make a pink version but I'll show you that another time- but how sweet are the magnolias simply stuck onto a branch. Well When I say simple, it isn't hard but ti does take a bit of patience as the glue is drying!!
Before me this week is Judy

I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
Oh Elizabeth, This is magnificent! I love the way you've used the sticks, and I love the springs of paper along with the leaves and flowers. The background choices are simply amazing and glorious. What a beautiful project with stunning results. Thank you so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful project, Liz. I think the Garden Lane is my fave, but they are all delightful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the way they all turned out differently. The watercolour panels are great.
ReplyDeleteWow Liz, these are simply gorgeous. I love how each one differs depending on the stick that was used and the background DSP.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects Liz. Isn't it funny how different they can look using the same pattern, esp the water coloured centres.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely stunning. The different DSP does make such a difference to the look
ReplyDeleteWow those frames are beautiful!! I love your magnolia's on the branch as well. You are so clever!!
