A New Floral...

Well, here it begins...my first drawing to be 'blogged' will be the bouquet that I am designing for my daughter Andrea, who is getting married next July.
So far, I have sketched out two ideas, but since my scanner has chosen this time to 'act up' I haven't been able to post any more than what is presently in my Picasa Web Album. So, patiently, I wait for the day that I can get caught up.
In the meantime, here is what my first one looks like...
The video at the side of this Blog shows in four steps how I have progressed through the initial stages up until the leaves being filled in, the roses, hydrangea and daisies being drawn in, the jewelled wrapped base being figured out as well, along with the crystals and cascading ribbons that will be hanging throughout the entire thing.
Parts of this one I believe she likes, but parts will have to be modified...she also wants more ribbons, maybe thicker and 'lace-ier' and I must add the calla lilies!
Anyway, so far so good...this one is fun to work on; I just need to design more of them, until I get it just right!
And that does not even include the bridesmaids' bouquets, the boutenirs and the centerpieces for the reception...
...looks like I'm going to be pretty busy :) ...
