Description
'tis the season of lotuses. ♥ They are beautiful flowers, and quite wonderful...the cooling shade of blue is perfect for the heat of summer.I used tsumami kanzashi techniques to create this flower, and hand dyed each petal by hand.
it's perfect for summer events...I think the gradation effect is really worth the effort.You can see more pictures of this delicate piece (it has trailing lotuses~) here on my etsy: [link]

Lovely, lovely, lovely!
The deeo, dark purple/accent tips are such a nice detail on this sky blue and petal pink flower design! All the colors are very vivid and eye-catching - it's so wonderful!
If lotuses could exist in the sky, this is what they would look like, resting and blooming on soft tufts of clouds and drifting where ever the wind blows them!
GRreat job, as usual!

Yes, I like how the sheet music looks, too! My clarinet book came in handy, hehe. I'll have to use it again. ♥
Thank you for your comment. ♥

Gorgeous! Wow...this whole picture makes me think of a game I'm currently playing called 'Eternal Sonata'--the colors, the sheet music and the pearls...all of it screams of the refined beauty.

Oh wow! those would be the colors i would ask for if i ordered something from you. its really beautiful! the pink centre didn't fit well in my opinion. but blue/lilac, white and then blue centre can work. just rambling xD hope it helps.

Actually, it is whisteria (a pink purple), not pink...but lilac would be nice, too.
Oh, you like light turquoise and purple, then? Neat.
