I would drink from that cup!
I look forward to your future efforts

I like it!

I was thinking of donating it to the ahs auction. I have to cover the cup in resin first it will deepen the colors. The paint needs to fully dry first

Would you call that an Aplique' being it has a "painted on" look?

Seed fork

Very nice!

With the resin coating

I think it's gorgeous.

Thank you SouthTexasGardner!!

I have to admire anyone with artistic talent. Which daylily did you copy?

Pat I saved that photo a couple years ago and don't remember which it was. And even so I never exactly copy- I used a form I liked and a color pattern that appealed to me at the time I paint. Lol.

Ok I donated this cup to the ADS auction. Items available are able to be viewed- bidding starts this weekend and ends the weekend after

Well done Eagleriver. Should we anticipate a collection of these at Lilyhemmer?

Wendy it is a possibility. I have made and sold several items - just not daylilies yet. I also do watercolor paintings and make jewelry
I am new to this level of daylily stuff and this will be my first Lilyhemmer. I hadn't even looked into wether or not they had sales booths

Eagleriver - you will love Lilyhemmer - we all missed it this year! They do have a few sellers pf related things, though not many, and sometimes daylily items are donated to the auction. Keep an eye on the region 3 page for information including contacts when available. There is also a Lilyhemmer Facebook group.

Your cup is really lovely!

Not on Facebook currently- but I did join ads and the two local groups- dvds and fsds
