White on White




As much as I love colour sometimes it is nice with a bit of simplicity.
I am not Scandinavian for nothing!
Clean lines, simple shapes and pure forms are all part of the Scandinavian design language.
It is loved all over the world.

Here I have played with idea of white on white.
A sweet little bunch of snowdrops in a vintage vase. 
I have added a lot of texture by using a vase with a pattern of flowers on the outside and a tablecloth with white on white embroidery. 

Have a wonderful week!

xx Ingrid

    Most times simplicity is enough and this beautiful picture actually brought back memories with it's visual effects, it is what a true artist such as yourself is capable of doing here. I will be back and forth to look at this picture all week. :) I love your work Ingrid!
    Have a wonderful week.

    White on white is a subtle art, and benefits from subtle changes in tone, sheen, texture, shadow.

    Ingrid...your white on white gives us a master class!

    I really appreciate the time you take with color matching (or in this case no color matching) for your pictures. Beautiful.

    Snowdrops... nice! In Italian they're called "bucaneve", that means "popping up from the snow".
    Beautiful photo!

    I love the snowdrops gathered in a vase! And the textures of it and the cloth are perfect to add interest. I also love clean design and white on white, although I find it hard to resist adding some color. We do have several all white rooms in our house, though, and they are like sanctuaries.

    Wishing you a beautiful week, dear Ingrid! xo – g

    Underbart! Tänk om de bara ville komma fram snart... Fast det kom mer snö här idag så det lär väl dröja lite till.
    Jag hittade hit från Minnas blogg, blomsterverkstad, och ska ta mig en ordentlig kik här.

    Kram!

    Yes, it's me again. Told you I'd be back to comment on the picture. This is just so beautiful. I've been out all day, looking for a vase, and I might as well forget looking for my snowdrops because they're covered in two feet of snow.

    Lovely,
