I said I wanted to get greens into this to make the pinks more sparkly. Juicy greens! Then, I remembered - hollyhock greens are DUSTY Greens! They are pubescent so it makes the underneath green ( which IS juicy) look dusty and dry. Anyway, the green surely DOES help - at least to my eye.

I should reedit this pic as the whole thing is too garish. The colours here are far more gaudy than they are in real life. I shall post this but come back and redo the photo. |
Now, I have the lower stem with spent flowers still clinging and a sort of shy bloom to the right of this one. She did not quite want to show her face :-)
Off I go to start supper and to reedit this photo. Stay tuned!

There we go! MUCH closer to reality! |

ReplyDeleteCarolynn, this is going to be beautiful -
ReplyDeleteWith fabric, you really have caught the papery thin translucent look of the petals. I'm quite amazed! Wish I could dye fabric like that.
