Happy Friday! I can't believe the day is almost over. It seems the more I do the more it seems like I should be doing, so by 5 o'clock, I am going a million miles an hour. So to slow it down, I will post a wildflower egg to remind myself to breathe and look up every once in a while. This is a stylized version of a bluebonnet patch. The bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas. I periodically try to recreate them, and have had varied success. The color of the real thing is a deep purple-blue that I can't yet achieve, but have high hopes with all the amazing new dye colors coming out now. The architecture of the flower is difficult as well because it is easy to over-do, so that it looks like the flower is posing as a flower rather than hanging out with its buddies in a lovely field. I think this worked out pretty well because I worked very loose and fast and didn't worry so much about the fiddly bits.
I hope you enjoy it!
