PUBLISHED WORKS

I DESIGN FOR SCRAPBOOK CREATIONS
ON THE COLOR TEAM .
our  commission was to create a layout 
using some colors from the following palette .


My view and approach on the palette
Soothing Blues and greens – I knew immediately I would be going with a ‘Garden Theme’.
I love to choose some elements, cast a spell, and see what happens.
Subtle shadows, light and color are all ingredients for casting this spell.
 Light blue skies, soft blues and pink flowers mingled with white,
 brighten the damp shady corners of my garden.
 Nature is all-consuming, inspiring and a natural expression of my inner self, 
which I love to weave into my works, creating harmony and peace to soothe my soul.

Colors used from the palette……
Main colourways
Sky Blue, Blue Lagoon, Celadon, Prussian Blue, Yellow Green
Complimentary colours
Naples Yellow Hue, White

'BLISS' 
The pic shows one of my FAVE SPOTS at the bottom of MY GARDEN . 





Handy Tip
When using ink I always like to do numerous thin layers..
By applying a thin watery layer first and adding more layers as they dry works a treat … building layer upon layer, allows the colour to remain translucent and fresh .
Sometimes we can all be a little impatient, wanting to see the desired colour immediately, but be doing layer upon layer is not only fun but you will also receive a more satisfying result …



I have posted a  rustic/grunge  mini book on my 
ART AND SOUL BLOG

and for all your love and support .
