Coloring Season



Summer puts everyone in a coloring mood, I think. This week's challenge at I am the Diva is to use colors for the tangles. There is, of course, the Summer of Color  hosted by Kirsten at Twinkletwinklelikethestar where the colors for this week's challenge are two shades of green and pink. 

I burned this ZIA on wood using a pyrographic tool. After the design was burnt, I colored the water, leaves and the flower using two shades of green and pink. The colors, especially pink, look a little darker because of the wood. 

Responding to several challenges in one art is a challenge in itself but it streches you in a way that is very satisfying.

    Such a lovely piece of art. I like how your pink turned a bit darker, and the water is beautifully done as well.

    I really enjoyed this piece, mainly because I don't think anyone has used pyrography on SOC colors before. I adore this. It is so delicate, yet sturdy, too.
