Here is the next block in the BOM "Forget Me Not" by Esther Aliu. It is a Calla Lily. I selected the color after checking out various color options on the computer. What a great tool the computer is, all I had to do was Google Calla Lily and look at the images and voila. Who knew these flowers came in so many colors! If you look at this block in a previous post, you will see that it looks a little flat. It really didn't come to life until all the embroidered details were added and I even did a little extra shading inside the flowers with Prisma colored pencils. I wasn't sure about the color combination til the block was complete - this really is a case where the details make the block. I'm looking forward to prepping the next block this weekend.
Really beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe little extra details really do make the flower come to life!
Good tip...check the computer. The shading is wonderful and so is the embroidery detail of this block. Cnn't wait to see them togather.
