The color challenge for the first week is Turquoise & Citron Green. I'm not exactly sure my colors are a spot on match, but I worked with what I have. I spent the first few days in quiet contemplation deciding what sort of project I wanted to do. Well quiet contemplation isn't how I'd describe my thought process. It's just with the vast amount of choices I was undecidedly torn on what I wanted to do.
What I finally decided on is to make a journal using Gelli prints. I'm also making beads from foil and paper to embellish with.Each week I will pick 4-6 prints in the weekly colors, with beads in the same color scheme to bind and embellish into a journal as the final project. Here are my choices for week #1;
 |
| Painted sheet of aluminum folk |
 |
| painted with Liquitex and Galerria acrylics, & Gesso |
 |
| The beads so far, still need some more work. |
So there you have it, Week # 1 Citron Green And Turquoise. I feel like a little kid nearing Christmas, waiting to see what the Poll results reveal. I hope you like where I'm going with this SOC Challenge. I'm excited to see what everyone else comes up with.
I would like to add if this is your 1st time here, please feel free to look around, or leave a comment. You can also email me if you have any questions. I would be most excited if you would become a new follower. I will follow you in return. Looking forward to getting to know some or all of you.
HAPPY CREATING!!!!!

P.S. I'd also like to share my sweet granddaughter Kaya, she is 3-1/2 and is a pistol. She usually doesn't like her picture taken, but every once in a while she'll let you get one.
I love your art work, your beads, and your drawing! You are so creative and your work is amazing! and I really like the photo of your granddaughter, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous grandaughter! :) You have been busy, your journal is going to be amazing by the end! Stunning beads as well!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs for your shading I thought it was good. The sides of the face and recesses of the eyes are darker where they go back into the face, and the forehead, top of the nose and chin are lighter where they come forward. Great work. :)
So many beautiful pages here! The prints are so pretty, and I love the idea of you binding it all in a book - and those beads! I've never seen that before, I'm in love with that! Can't wait to see what more you come up with. AND your granddaughter is just adorable!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh wow your journal pages are absolutely beautiful...and the beads are lovely too. The drawing on the book pages is gorgeous ...I love the expression in her eyes ...beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea to make gelliprints in the colours of SOC. I think your girl looks great. There's a whole lot of free tutorials on Youtube about shading and skin colours, it'll keep you busy for weeks ....
ReplyDeleteI totally love the idea of creating journals for SOC, by end if it you'd have 6 delicious printed journals!!. I LOVE the lady too, she is so sweet even when you think the tone is not perfect :). I did some watercolor paintings on old book pages too :). Your grand daughter is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteso delightful! love what you did with the colors and the prints!
ReplyDeleteYour C&T designs are very pretty! I love the lady in the book. I think she looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love your use of the colors for SOC! Your granddaughter is super adorable too. I have a few pencils that I like to use for shading: I start with cream all over the face, then I shade around the nose, eyes and around the outer part of the face and neck with a brown. Then I cover the face again with light peach. I sometimes add a purple around the crease over the eyes, then the brown around the top of the eye lid. I also give a little pink here and there. I hope that helps! (I'm a new follower too)
ReplyDeleteyour granddaughter is so sweet looking... and I love those beads... just beautiful... will be great to see what you make with them... happy week 1... well late week 1 visit!!!
