Doesn't this wall pocket remind you of a waffle ice cream cone? Gary thought so and I have to agree. I'm wondering about leather or a ribbon strung through the holes, maybe some wire, that might be the ticket. I'm pushing myself out of my comfort zone using these pretty in pastel colors, still they feel good to me, happy feeling.
This is a slipped group with satin clear glaze I'm working on. The slip colors stayed true which I was happy about. I've painted the wood background for them three times. I think I have it this time with a bit of silver and amber to make the wood appear rustic and worn. I guess I just couldn't paint the wood white or cream, I had to darken the arrangement with black. Interesting; I may have to see what they would look like with a lighter background.
Here are a few more of the pastel flowers I'm letting settle in my mind a bit, thinking about lusters and planning some mixed media arrangements. More about that later.
Stay tuned for that desert recipe I promised, a childhood story and more, thanks for reading and for all your comments and encouragement.
Darn it, Linda, now you have me hungry for a waffle cone. Skip the ice cream , just the cone.... Yummy.
ReplyDeleteLove your pastels.
I'm not a pastel person, but these are beautiful! Really awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, thanks, I was thinking maybe a pastel pom pom that looked like ice cream inside. Ha.
ReplyDeleteHi Turquoisemoon, thanks, I usually not a pastel perso either, but I figured somebody else might be. Ha.
I love your waffle cone as is - that jade green is gorgeous, as is the one with the concentric swirls.
ReplyDeletehey your in florida... i am sure these colors will sell! and now i craving ice cream in a waffle cone...
ReplyDeleteHi Kittie, thanks, I need to make more waffle cones in various colors, thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, I do notice there are brighter colors used here in Florida, so you may be right.
Those flowers are wonderful! I'm seeing some wall-flowers or wall tiles made from a grouping! How lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, thanks, I'm trying to let me creative juices flow or should I say bloom! Ha.
ReplyDeleteYou are so diverse I assumed the entire world was your comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteThose pastels ARE lovely! The blues and the pinks look like they have a bit of crazing, which really accentuates the flower shapes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
Hi Lori, thanks, diverse that's a nice way of putting "all over the place" thanks. I am having fun and venturing into unchartered territory and that's what counts I guess.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, thanks, crazing, no crazing, what is crazing anyway. The waffle cone has too thin a layer of glaze, particularly on the left hand side, but it is growing on me. I do have some crackle glazes on some of these.
Oops, should be Julia. Sorry, my fingers are faster than my brain, is that possible? you betcha
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, thanks, I just looked up crazing and saw it is a fine cracks, but the aqua and lime are supposed to be crackle glazes, being self taught and having progressed through the school of hard knocks, I ofte have to look terminology up, but I do like that effect with these which are non functional.
ReplyDeletelooking good Linda- now let's see if blogger post this!
ReplyDeleteHi Meredith, thanks, there's still one blog I can't get on, it keeps taking me back to the sign in page even when I am signed in and my computer keep clicking, weird.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Nutty Buddy now darn it. My favorite in a waffle cone. Somehow don't think carrots are going to satisfy now.
ReplyDeleteHi Patti, thanks, it has been so long since I had an ice cream in one of those cones, somehow the hot weather just seems perfect for that now doesn't it. Stay tuned for something sweet that is good for you in the next post, you might like it. It isn't ice cream, but it is sweet.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Linda..love the colours and the flowers. Ah..summer Dairy Queen ice cream! :)..an annual treat!
ReplyDeletecheers, t.
Hi Trish, thanks, yes Dairy Queen, once Gary and I traveled across the country in our old pickup with our old dog Blue in the middle of summer and our ac went out, we stopped frequently at Dairy Queens and our dog enjoyed them along with us; to this day I don't know how we all survived the heat.
ReplyDeleteLinda these are beautiful! I like the colors on all of them!! well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Yoli, thanks so much, now how to utilize them in my mixed media ideas, thinking on that.
ReplyDeleteOh I love these! Gorgeous work and colors!
ReplyDeleteHi Marguerite, thanks so much.
