This week the theme at Inspiration Avenue is to think about what inspires you. I am most inspired by nature and color! I like screaming bright, vivid colors! I am inspired by the way Mother Nature paints the world, especially this time of year. I love to create French Beaded Flowers and often take my cue from what is blooming around me. During Autumn, I especially love to create bright orange lilies and the many hues of orange, red & yellow that the marigolds in my garden wear. Roses are also a favorite of mine and I create them all year long in bright shades of red, like the above, pink, yellow, purple, and even sapphire blue.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Inspiration Avenue who provides such wonderful prompts and inspiration week after week. Although I only discovered your blog a month or so ago, I already feel like I have grown as an artist--at least in my thought process. I know you can't see it, but there is a big smile on my face!

Great post Debbie! I love nature too and it does inspire me a lot also! I love sapphire blue! Roses in that color would be amazing!
Oh, congrats on your win at Roxanne's blog! Lucky you!
Thanks so much Stacy! They are pretty in sapphire blue!
I love the color of green for the leaves of these roses and I like the spray of baby's breath...nice touches for your work.
nature is very inspiring...I love all your pieces...
nature is definitely inspiring! i love your beaded rose, and i bet it's gorgeous in sapphire blue.
I agree with you and nature provides so much to enjoy year round. Your piece would also be gorgeous as a brooch or hair ornament, Melissa (above) mentioned the baby's breath, and that also caught my attention. It's beautiful.
What an enjoyable post. I too love nature and it does repeatedly inspire me.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Gaby
