Growing a rose garden
/I was in Central Market last weekend and they had some fantastic huge roses that had started to open and show their true beauty. I couldn't help myself. I took out my camera and snapped a few shots.
When I got home, I worked a couple of them up into oversized rug patterns (20" x 20") and decided today to draw the one pictured to the left on my linen foundation.
I am low on wool right now, at least in colors I want for roses (like the yellow rose of Texas), so I am using up the last of what I have on hand to create my first rose. It will be rose colored with hints of lavender and pink. I hope it goes well and I can create a whole rose garden. And dye them to my preference.
Wools I intend to use:
- color 12, Rowan Raspberry
- color 44, Red Oak
- color 20, Black Cherry
- color 16, Damask Rose
- color 46, Black Orchid
- color 33, Highland Lilac
- color 35, Crab Apple
- color 34, Pink Iris
