"The Elegance of Natural Beauty" DominoART Wall Art
I've been stamping up a storm in my studio and now I'm eager to share with you my first project as an official Designer for Blockheads Paper Arts! Stacey D sent me her gorgeous "Flowers Full Sheet 1 FL1001" to work with. I was really taken with the fragile beauty of these Flower images and wanted to design something that would capture the elegance of nature. I was inspired by the shape of the flower panels at the bottom of the sheet to use vintage Doublecross dominoes coz of their long thin size. I wanted to focus on bringing out the beauty of the wood of the actual game pieces which in turn enhanced the elegance of each stamped flower image. The Wall ART I designed reflects the simple elegance I was going for in the long linear feel of the piece which is then softened by the glow of the gold and the gentle curves of the 'S' hanger and connectors.
