Mixed Media Zinnias

As part of the 365 Days of Crafts link party this month we were asked to post a project using a technique that we love to do.  If you've read my blog before you know I love flowers, drawing flowers, painting flowers, decorating with flowers and growing flowers.  My favorite creative technique would be called Multimedia.  I use my original drawings and quotes to create art with paint, colored pencil, pen & ink, etc.

The words behind the flowers are - "Zinnias: An old fashioned annual that just makes me happy.   I’m sure the memories I have of them in the gardens of family and special friends have something to do with that.  The seeds are easily dried and shared to create a special connection with those you love."  

While I love this orange flower, if I could grow Zinnias in my yard (I don't have enough sun) they would be pink.  That's who I am.
