Day 10 - Hibiscus

[vilakins]

I was short of time tonight and decided not to post the picture I drew because I wasn't happy with it so I did another painted-glass flower because they're relatively fast and easy.

Hibiscus



As LJ-hosted pictures aren't always showing up properly (just as a strip or very pixellated), I also have it on Flickr.

And now it's a late goodnight from me!

My NaArMaMo 2011 Gallery is here; go up a level for the others.

Gorgeous! I love the vivid colours you get with this technique.

[vilakins]

Thanks! I think they got even more vivid when I exported them to jpg! The turquoise and mauve background certainly did, but I liked that as it looked even more tropical.

Gorgeous, and what a Wake! Up! color! I'm enjoying your flowers so much, vilakins!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Good! Because there will be more when I'm stuck for something to do! :-)

This is beautiful--such a gorgeous color.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love hibiscus. I had one in my garden for a while.

I like the economy of the picture. (do I mean economy? Getting a lot of effect from small amounts of materials)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

And effort! They're fun and fast. :-D

That's so pretty. I love the frosted glass effect of the background and the shading on the petals is fabulous.

I don't know how well they reproduce onto paper, but you could sell those as greeting card designs.

It would be nice if they did a raised gold border too. :-)

Ohhhh! this is a real joy in this bleak and cold day! A real kiss of warmth. Beautifully made, exquisite, lovely collection, yes!!!!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Bleak and cold? It's summer there! It's bleak and cold here--and wet, dammit--but it has an excuse. It brightened my day too. :-)

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

This season is just a pseudo-summer. The coldest one in the last 60 years. At present we have 10°C and dropping....

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Oooookay, that's colder than our winter. :-(

These flower pictures are really dramatic--I love the way you use color in them.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad people like them because there'll be more when I'm stuck. :-)

I love your hibiscus - it reminds me of home. :o) I really like how you've done the colouring.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of summers up north where there are lots. :-) we get them here too, but not as many.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Really love the free flowing vibrancy of this.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It started off quite pale and I just kept adding virtual paint.

[theyarnproject.livejournal.com]

This is SOOOO Pretty. I love it. In fact, I think that I should have it. =)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Get the whole set of glass coasters! :-)

[imhilien.livejournal.com]

Very pretty! :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Roll on summer. :-)

[quabazaa.livejournal.com]

YAY I adore this series of flowers you are doing :) This is just gorgeous! I love the little pollen stalk and the shading on the petals XD

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I kept on adding virtual paint till I liked the look. I've decided I'm going to do six in the set. :-)

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

Very impressed with your painted glass flowers and all your drawings!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I will do more. :-)

[lizamanynames.livejournal.com]

That is glorious! The colour, the texture of the brushstokes... simply beautiful.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-D

[pebblerocker]

These are so bright and cheerful!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! They make me think of summer.
