One of the horticultural oddities of the last century is the floral clock. A curious landscape design practice of the 20th C., floral clocks have a history that dates back to the 18th century.

LIMITED PALETTE Learning from my failures when painting Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi and how important to effectively pick and mix paints, I decided to do my Dendrobium spectabile with as few pigments as possible. I used only 3+1 paints, W&N Perylene Maroon (PM), Indanthrene Blue (IB), and Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow Light (HYL) and, for some area, Permanent Rose. I am pleased that these four are all single-pigment paints and two of them (PM and IB) have a great range of colour-mix, from which I could get all colours I need to paint the orchid. They covered the "white" lip/labellum, greenish yellow sepals and petals, to the very dark burgundy pattern on the lip. Beside having significant amount of clarity of colours when finished, I found painting with fewest possible pigments eased my mind. I worked with wet in wet washes a lot, which allowed me to let the paint flow and mingle with each other. These limited palette really helped me avoid muddy colours, which could easily result from inadvertent clashes of pigments. In addition, the limited pallete brought about harmony to the whole painting. MAGIC ERASER SPONGE Magic eraser sponge can completely remove unwanted marks from the paper but I avoided using it due to its abrasive nature. However, I made a mistake, which couldn't be erased using eradicator brush. Hence, I used my eraser sponge this time, but with care. My tips of using magic eraser sponge: 1. Make sure the colouring is final. Once rubbed with the sponge, the paper surface impacted is somewhat damage and difficult to paint. 2. Use masking tape to protect the other area for precise result. Make sure all paint and paper is completely dried. 3. I cut the sponge into a small square because I prefer to use pointy corners to rub tiny areas. 4. Dampen the sponge and rub it gently until the unwanted mark completely removed. Wash and rinse the sponge regularly. 5. Remove the masking tape when the paper completely is dried 6. If you need to tidy the edge, apply only dry brush, as dry as possible. DENDROBIUM SPECTABILE The orchids are native to Papua island (Indonesia and PNG). The blossoms have an alien look, but I fell in love with it since our first encounter at a local orchids nursery in Yogyakarta back in 2013. Their extremely twisted sepals, petals and curling lip made them look as if they danced and their intricate patterns were the very first reason I had a crush on them. By mid of this month, I visited the same nursery and I was happy to find it bloomed, reminded me of my long desire to paint it. So here is my latest painting, Dendrobium spectabile, The Dancer!

Hi everyone! it's time for a new Mojo Monday sketch! Are you ready to play? I so appreciate everyone who plays along. It's always fun peeking in on your creations! As always, you're free to play along with any papercrafting products your heart desires and enter as many creations as you like. Use the sketch as inspiration for your creation, then come link it up below so I can come take a look! The linky for this challenge will close on October 27, 2019. I have included dimensions on the graphic later in this post, but feel free to change them up to suit your needs. If you haven't guessed by now, I really love to use circles on my layouts. I also really love fall. I combined them both with today's card featuring the new Rhubarb's Harvest set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. This little bear holding his pumpkin makes me smile. It reminds me of when the boys were younger and Trevor picked out a pumpkin almost twice his size. He's never shied away from a challenge, and watching him try to lift that big pumpkin sure did make me laugh. Anyhow, on with the card. I wanted to give the feeling of a beautiful October afternoon, so I colored him up with Copics, then blended around the edges with tumbled glass distress oxide. I did a little stamp surgery with the two uppermost falling leaves on the image, cutting them out so I could stamp them individually. I added them to the largest stitched circle and colored with Copics, inking the edges with tumbled glass. The sentiment is the final circle, stamped in gathered twigs distress oxide and embossed clear. The lovely embossing folder background is debossed with gathered twigs distress oxide, and I finished off with a seam binding bow and a glitter leaf sticker from Hobby Lobby. Alrighty, now it's your turn! I hope you enjoy creating with this sketch! Can't wait to see what you create! Join me for Mojo Monday! Click here to enter Thanks for stopping much for by!
