Here are the new members
of the Jewels family! I wonder if you can guess which precious
stones have inspired these two flowers?
Actually, it is very
simple! It is Amethyst and Ruby.
I tried hard to reflect
how Amethyst has this quite a cold color on top but it switches to
the warm golden sand color on the bottom. Funnily, I was trying to
determine what to call the color on its top – dark violet? Blue-violet? Purple? - and then I found out that “amethyst” is already
a name for the color itself!
The Ruby flower has a very
rich and juicy color palette: you fill find there shades of scarlet,
purple and burgundy (I tried to follow the color palette of a raw
ruby rather than faceted, that's why it is so colorful). Frankly
speaking, even these photographs don't give Ruby justice. A true
queen :)
The order of work is
pretty similar to the previous Jewels so if you've worked one of
them, the new ones should be a piece of cake. But I still added some
new tricks so that you can practice something fresh :)
And, like always, expect a lot of step by step pictures!
I also decided that these
flowers will be the last in the Jewel family, at least for now.
I still really want to
make a flower based on a moonstone, for example... imagine how pretty
it would be? Or a tender flower inspired by rose quartz! And,
finally, my dream is to stitch a flower inspired by black aventurine
:) I used to have a bead bracelet with this stone when I was at high school, and I still remember how fascinated I was with its
glimmering. It reminded me of a night sky full of twinkling stars.
I'm not sure how to translate that feeling into a flower, though,
haha.
So yes, all of that is
still in my to-do list. But later, God willing. For now, I would like
to give way for some new ideas :)
