EXPLORER! Brighten with citrus was the prompt for out week 33 of Be Still 52. I had to wait to get to the store to buy some lemons and oranges, ended up choosing lemons to work. Its been rainy and dark and the yellow were a pop of freshness I needed. Here I used some quilt fabric for my backdrop which really worked out well, I used a Friday Find for the little dish the lemons are sitting in, a single wine glass that has survived the years and an old silk flower. Couldn't get my lemons to look interesting so got the knife out and sliced one up, figured I could use the slices in a pitcher of ice water. Delish. I love lemon water sitting out in a pitcher with lots of ice. My glass is always full.
This is called Essence of Citrus, and I used a blackish fabric and a texture from Kim Klassen called more magic, I loved the little words that sorta brought the image away from looking like a staged still. The little pitcher was a find at good will as was the glass bottle with the cork. This was part of Week 33 also. Same theme as above.
I would never on my own gather and create settings without these great prompts. Its something I look forward to and its enriched my eye and creativity so much being part of Be Still 52 and now The Studio!
These are just beautiful Sally! I love the black background and the love arrangement of citrus. Congrats on Explore!!
