Tropical Paradise Flowers - Mural Inspired Challenge

 



A lower platform of Skopje's oldest mall has a long wall given to artists to paint and it has about 7-10 murals (not quite sure because I didn't take pictures of them all),  all of them are amazing.

Stored on my phone, once in a  while I browse through them for inspiration, so I got the idea to use the color work of the mural below and make something in crochet and voila! My new necklace.



I thoroughly enjoyed working on it, especially designing the flowers and I have a feeling that these will not be the only ones. And because I am easily hooked on inspiration like this one, I am sure there will be more mural challenges for me.

  2. This necklace has a Carmen Miranda air which I find very appealing! As Marjan said above, you have captured the mural colours beautifully.

    1. I had to google Carmen. I don't recall seeing any of her films...

    1. Thank you Julie! The mix of colors is too much for me, but I try to get out of my comfort zone and explore "unthinkable"(to me) color combinations :)
