The Color Room Palette #4 REVEAL (due before May 7th)

Another week has flown by.  We have so many amazing pieces of work on the Photo Wall.....so difficult to choose the Featured Artists this week.  Glad we passed it on to the DT to pick!!!  It's getting more difficult each week.  See the work the girls chose HERE.   Totally amazing work, well done Di Turner, Marisa, Lula, Stacey Young and Mumkaa!

So the new Palette is up (at the same link above)  It is taken from 'His Room' this week.  It features deeper and richer tones.  It was more challenging for me, but I LOVE feeling challenged!  So once I got started it was fine.  There is another sketch to have a play with too!

                                      So pretty!!!
This is what i created using these colours! 

TCR#3-Lydell


Mine-textural

Textural2

 I got the idea for this LO from the torrent programme we use
to download tv programmes from the US. There is a section there where
you can see your computer in the centre receiving bits of information
being downloaded from many computers around the world in real time. The
people sending information to my computer are around the exterior of the
circle with lines moving towards the central computer (me) So this
represents my 'downloads' of inspiration from these incredible Artists
we have on our Team! My download lines are stitching.....hard to see!!!

I used texture paste on the circle, and glimmer misted it, then stitched it on to the base paper.  How nice and EASY to use the prima flowers, (some I painted, some I glimmer misted!)    I made the crochet flowers too.

Ok...that's it for today.  I will swing by later and load some other goodies I have done recently!  But i will save that for another day!

Have a great day!

EASTER CREATING.....

Chick-collage 

Easter-basket
Final

Easter-project 

You can tell I had a migraine doing this one above.  Firstly there is no
5.....just jump straight to six.  you can finish quicker that
way....secondly, it was around the time I was photographing these things
that DH was lovingly scrubbing -almost half, a HUGE tub of Modpodge out
of our dining room (cream coloured) carpet.  I so wanted to go back to
bed.  BUT I had a deadline!!!!!
