This past week I have spent hospitalized. But fortunately, the week before that happened I had oodles of work to do and lots of orders as well. So here’s a brief synopsis on what I’ve been doing…
Turquoise Color Palette – This hand blended color palette was made using a custom blue-metallic turquoise. I then made a tint and 2 shades (see my Color Guide for more info). The majority of this palette was used for Teak. Adopt Teak here.- Purple Color Palette – This hand blended color palette was made using a custom cool metallic purple. For this color I also made a tint & a shade. These palettes give a very monochromatic look, but the colors are different enough that they play well off each other (see my Color Guide for more info). The purple color palette was used on Bugsy. Adopt Bugsy here.
- Saint Patricks Day Pendants & Brooches that I made for some sample projects. They were inspired by the always fabulous, Ron Lehocky.
- Look at the faux techniques I’ve been playing with. Cinnabar, Ivory, & Turquoise. These faux techniques are part of the Pavelka Project. We are having lots of fun & Lisa has provided some fantastic prizes. Be sure to check it out.
Last but not least, this gorgeous red/yellow skinner blend has been used for Monday’s Tutorial for Parker’s Clayful Tutorials Club Members. You do NOT want to miss this; be sure to join now for only $5 for your first month. Get Club Details Here.
