Tuples and Attributes

A neighbor told me that alstroemeria (Peruvian Lilies) were her favorite flower and I thought I would try making some. Rather than following someone else’s pattern and coloring suggestions, I decided to use the techniques I have learned over the past years and make my own.

I looked at picture after picture on the internet and I bought some live flowers and took them apart. I cut all the petals and leaves freehand and experimented a bit with size and shape. I got a bit carried away, perhaps, with coloring: on the last set, the white/yellow ones, I used 3 different colors of Pan Pastel, 2 different watercolor paints, and 1 colored marker.

At any rate, I am pleased with my first truly hand-crafted flowers.
