black, white and a little shimmery silver!

love the lines and shapes of this chandelier

via

i'm aiming to create a bold pattern like this

oh, how i love color against a dark background

i may add touches of color

we'll see 

the making of lollipop

i started with layers and layers of sap green

i'm guessing there are about 10-15 washes of green!

 next, with help from the little man, 

i started on the chandelier

now, my favorite!!!

COLOR is being added

i used striped tissue paper from 

Kate Spade as inspiration

(you can see it on the back wall)

i was constantly moving from color to color

my jars of water and palette

here, i thought i may be done, 

but something was missing

the chandlier wasn't popping like i wanted

so...

i added paint pens

and voilà

lollipop
