Happy Birthday Joanne!

Another veggie/fruit piece! I made this beet for a friend's birthday. I love this paper that has little beets on it. It's just perfect for a little piece in a kitchen. I found a great little stand to go along with it so that it can sit on the counter. Hopefully, it will bring smiles while Joanne is cooking one of her fabulous dishes! Happy Birthday, Joanne!

Field of Orange Flowers

I love the colors and patterns of these flowers. At first, I thought it might be too much pattern, but once it came together, I just loved the way it all worked together. I guess sometimes more is more! The patterns and layering here make the texture of Fields of Orange Flowers amazing. It makes you want to just reach out and touch it! This piece reminds me of some of my earlier fields of flowers pieces. Each time I revisit an older piece, I think they just get better and better. The colors here, much more muted and warm, also remind me that autumn is on it's way in. It is a cozy but elegant feel. Loving it!
