This week has been a real challenge! Summer of Colour, hosted by the lovely Kristin over at Twinkle Twinkle challenged us to make a piece of art based on the colours of mint choc chip ice cream - green and brown in other words!
Now, I love green - in the great outdoors - but I don't really work with it, wear it much or live with it in my home.
Anyway, after a week of struggling I have managed to put together a sketchbook page loosely based on my on-going theme of pollen.
I also made a photo mosaic of the very few minty green things around my home - including a specially made cupcake, some marzipan eggs, and two pretty green moths from my collection - and I am linking this to the
And finally I've put together a colour palette that I am linking to
Colour Me Weekly over at Rosie's LeavesnBloom.
I love all the elements you have brought together to create such a lovely journal page. Blogger is looking into the problem with my blog I hope to be back blogging soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the gentleness of your page.....
