PhotoChain Challenge 73rd Edition - An Old Art Form

in Feel Good3 years ago

Welcome everyone to the 73rd edition of this amazing PhotoChain Challenge initiated by @davidesimoncini. Read all about this challenge here if you haven't heard of this yet. You are welcome to join.

For this week, the 2 Keywords are:

COLORFUL by @melinda010100

and

FLOWER by @elizacheng


We are very fortunate this week that the Keywords together in one photo is something very easy to find. There just is a dirge of photos which I can enter showing colorful flowers right straight from our garden or our neighbors' gardens. But instead, I wanted to do something a bit different this time. So I went over my archives and found something that just fits the bill.

The photo above is called Quilling. It is an art form involving the use of paper. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about this.

Quilling or paper filigree is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create a unified and decorative design. The name quilling is thought to come from the origin of the art; birds' feathers, or quills, were used to coil the strips of paper around. Wikipedia

The photo above is one of my wife's projects. It is supposed to be a flower with decorative rolled up colored papers as design. It is mounted on a picture frame with paper doilies as base. Here's a photo of the initial stages of her project before she transferred it onto the picture frame and used colored papers.

My Personal Keyword is

PICTURE FRAME


All for now. Best of luck to all participants. Stay safe and have a great weekend everyone.

Your wife is so talented! This fits perfectly for this week's keywords!

Thank you. Your keyword Colorful is so generic and quite user friendly. It can actually match any other keyword easily. Thank you for that.
