The long awaited and much anticipated 3rd year of Summer of Color has begun, hosted by the lovely and talented Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle. If you're not already involved, click on the link at the top of the sidebar and come play! The color combination for our first week is Citron and Turquoise, a combination I quite like.
This is done on a 6" x 12" piece of wood, with a lot of vintage bits and pieces. The Frozen Charlotte is riding a butterfly that I cut out of a very old piece of lace, some kind of elongated doily that is full of these butterfly shapes. The little straps I used to hold her in are all already part of it - this kind of thing can seriously make my whole day!

ReplyDeleteokay, that's kind of spooky. I wasn't going to do summer of color this year. Had no idea what the first week's color was. And sat down last night and made an index card in those exact colors. hmmm...maybe I'm joining after all! (and oh yeah, your piece is so very lovely.)
ReplyDeleteYour Charlotte piece is awesome. The colors are great.:)
ReplyDeleteLoving your terrific mixed media piece. Happy SOC, Annette x

ReplyDeleteI didn't know about this color project. Can I fit it into a schedule that is already so crazy I can't get my blog reading done?!?
oh, let's face it: probably.
Such a wonderful surprise to see this lovely artwork on wood. I am sure it has a very special and warm effect in reality. I think I should try to paint on wood some time too. It's really impressing.
ReplyDeleteOh what a darling she is, riding that little butterfly! Superb artwork, I love it! (but then you already know how much I love your artwork!!).
