Gold Partridge on Blue

Japanese Anemone flowers are a firm favourite with their delicate petals and fine but strong stems. They bring elegance to any garden, always attract attention and can be relied upon to reappear every year.

This piece focuses on the flower, making it the focal point with its pure white petals and stylisation of the flower’s intricate centre. Decorative motifs have been added to the corners of this design, representing the flower’s buds. They form part of a strong border pattern that also encircles the flower, celebrating the flower’s significance.

This artwork has been meticulously hand-made using layers of cut, textured and coloured papers. The differing papers have been selected to add emphasis to the various parts of the design and to encourage one’s eye to be drawn to each part in turn.

The silver pearlescent card is subtle, contrasting in terms of colour and texture against the white petals and adds sophistication and movement to the design. The light shimmers across its surface, showing a slightly granulated texture which will undoubtedly attract attention. Acrylic paints have also been applied to some parts in the centre of the flower, thus increasing the visual impact of those shapes and colours which are further emphasised by the subtle shadows created by the layered papers.
