a spark of color creativity...

watermelon brooch

I mentioned this a couple weeks ago, but, The Spark. It's a new challenge blog and this is what I came up with for the first "Color Combo" challenge. Frosted watermelon shades are a favorite of mine right now...so I went all literal. Very unlike me. But I do like how the eyes and mouth look like seeds at first, but then you spot them.

Using both paint and embroidery was a fun thing for this brooch. AND it looks quite lovely on my Eco felt, yes? I'm feeling all mixed media lately...

And just a side note, one that lacks a lot of color, today my sister caught this picture of me...I like.
