A garden escape

Inspired by sketches I made earlier this summer of some beautiful oriental poppies we spotted on the grass verge, I decided to create an abstract pendant within an embossed copper frame. I painted my design on some stretched cotton, and added just a hint of pearly and metallic paint, so that it has a lovely sheen.

Now I'm wondering what other abstract designs I can come up with, based on the still abundant blooms on the patio. I'll get out there with my sketchbook tomorrow!
