I decided to use the maple seeds for my 12" x 12" donation to the SAQA Auction so I reworked the original design seen in the previous post, cropped the seeds closely and squared the design up. But still wondering what color to make the seeds. 
Sunday after church we stopped by the Fresh Market for some dessert supplies and I found these wonderful red and green maple seeds. My color scheme is now at hand. Put a few Hypericum blossoms with the maple and popped them into one of Mom's little blue bottles for a small arrangement for the studio. If I can just refrain from tipping over the bottle and getting water on stuff, it will be a delight to have. 
I finished inking the design on Tuesday. Want to take it with me on Thursday morning to the SAQA Visioning Conference. Anyone want to make bets? Nancy

ReplyDeleteMartha, thanks for your lovely comments. I finished this piece on the way to Denver and forgot to photograph it. Hope to be able to get a photo of it from SAQA.
