Representative of a sun bursting forth, a large irregular sunburst decorates the top.
Somehow, to me, the design of this parasol reminds me of ancient Grecian artwork. I have been working on a few projects , this is one project. Instead of my usual lace & ribbon,this is made with paint, sequins, plastic decals, and glue.
This parasol was a bit of an experiment for me, working with an entirely new technique--paint.
The spindle is painted gold, a little golden sun flower accents the top.
The sunflower is plastic with
just enough golden ribbon to form some foliage.
Small golden flowers accent each spoke along the edge.
There were a couple times when I applied too much paint and it chipped when dry, I had to re-paint a couple areas.
The color of these pictures is a little dark, not true to reality. Below is a overview of the parasol folded and a true-to-life color picture.
