This past weekend the tiger lilies bloomed. They are everywhere. We have a line that surrounds our small garden near our house, but you can see them everywhere along the roads right now too.
Orange and yellow are not at the top of my list of favorite colors, but I can't deny that these are beautiful flowers. I now feel challenged to try beading something using the same color combination as these lilies. I find yellow a really difficult color to work with in beading. I'm sure that is because it is not one of my favorite colors, but I also struggle to figure out how to complement it with other colors. I took a few moments over the weekend to study these flowers and I'm warming to the idea of yellow and orange. Maybe it is the deep red that separates the two. I have a few other projects in the works, but my head is now filled with a number of ideas. Oh, only to have more time to bead.
Is there a color that you find hard to incorporate? Have you been able to overcome it?
Gorgeous lilies! My mom loves gardening and I miss her orchids, and other tropical plants!
ReplyDeleteI love pink and turquoise but sometimes I'm not sure if they go well together. I just put them together because I love the colors. I just add some other colors like gray and black to compliment the other colors. (And we're talking clothing here, hehe!)
