Lupine Flowers
Colorado is so beautiful! This picture was taken last year in Vail. We were enjoying beautiful weather, scenery and flowers while our fellow Oklahomans were suffering through heat and drought.
Like the Woodland Sunflowers from a previous post, I used these purple Lupine flowers as inspiration for a painted scarf.
I mixed up some sodium alginate to use as resist but I made it too thick. (I was pretty impressed with myself that I was able to mix it at all!) You can see that the line kept its color very well. However, in several places the line was so thin that the dye bled through. In spite of its imperfections, I still really like this piece.
