Hello all,
I have recently been away on holiday in Turkey. Whilst I was there I had a few non-alcoholic cocktails and was inspired by the bright colours to create this design.
I started by creating the gradient colours using a sponging technique (see youtube for examples). This worked a lot better than I was expecting and the bright colours were exactly what I wanted.
I was going to keep it as the simple gradient but then remembered some fruit cane slices I bought a few years ago and so decided to have a play with them.
I picked 5 types of fruit (Lime, Strawberry, Coconut, Lemon and Orange) and cut an angle out to make them look like fruit slices. I attached them using clear polish. I also tried to create the look of a straw, painting lines through each piece of fruit.
I love the final result, it reminds me of the holiday everytime I look at them.
What do you think? Have you ever used cane slices in your designs?
