The purple pigment in this wreath is derived from red everblooming rose petal bits. The flower abrasion technique was used on the rose petal bits, leaf bits, and stems. You can clearly see some blobs of color that have been surrounded with India ink to create this overarching wreath. No additional coloration is added to this amazing stunner! Brides might want to consider personalizing the center of the wreath.

Description
“This piece is part of a series I created with a process I like to call flower abrasion. Each piece begins with bits of leaves and flowers collected from my garden. I then arrange the plants on paper and pound them with a hammer to release their pigments. Sometimes a blob of color bleeds from the plant, other times the color is spit outward. Each time the result is unique and unpredictable. I use the pattern of pigments left behind by the plants as inspiration for my design which is drawn, painted, and colored on top.” -Artist, Kathie Gallion
