flowers for you

watercolor poppies

this is a screenprint design i am working on in print design. i've been somewhat interested in opium and so i designed a print with disguised motives of opium harvesting, opium pipes, and heroin surrounded by poppies and poppy pods. i tend to create conversational prints, even though this time i tried not to - i couldn't help myself :)

backyard flowers

hmmm, could they actually be a source of inspiration for a print or woven design? maybe, i mean they are a little more like wildflowers, we haven't been taking care of them as much as we used to because my mom and her financee have been "redoing and rearranging" the house inside and out, trying to give it a makeover. apparently we are putting in a small coy pond, which would be nice, but i think it's too small for the fish. anyway, i'd thought i would share some pictures of the "nice" flowers in our backyard.
