A Crymson Life

so good you can eat ‘em

Time is flying by and I have more bouquets to show off.  These are not part of a series or anything, they just all happend to get named for fruit/berries.  BE asked how I’ve been coming up with the names.  Mostly I just say what the colors remind me of…unless it is a bigger project.  The bigger pieces tend to have an inspiration that picks the colors and styles.  When I finished with this huge batch I was sitting on the deck with Chris and we brainstormed up the names to all but three pieces.  And even those have found names now.

First up is Blueberry.  These are flowers I made a couple years ago.  The blues in them really glow together with the purples.  They were originally made to become apart of my first large bouquet piece.  That never happened b/c life took over, but the flowers themselves are still quite wonderful.

Watermellon is the next yummy bouquet.  And what else would pinks and greens bring to the mind.  This is a small simple bouquet that really reminds me of summer.  Hot days equal smaller flowers and yet just as pretty as the large lush ones found in spring.

The last one for the day is one of the bouquets I had a hard time naming.  Tutti Fruity is what I came up with, totally corny and yet it works.  This bouquet looks great paired with Horizon.  The colors are similar and together they blend so well its like a large bouquet piece.

Simply stunning!  I am always amazed by your talent.  You think I’d be used to it by now.  wink

*lol* Tutti Fruity! We had a quite clownish erotic game show in the 90ies which was called “Tutti Frutti” here in Germany. I guess the name reminds a lot of German people of this show. smile
But you are right, I can imagine Tutti Fruity well together with Horizon. The yellow flower is quite unique.
Again, I love the first one! And it’s not only because I like blueberry muffins! smile The various colours glow even on the picture! How would they glow if I saw them in person? Great!
Regarding Watermellon, I like the green flower with red dots a lot! It is so different and I always love the things which are different ...
