Hi everyone :-)
It was a close call as to weather I was going to get this weeks Summer Of Colour done!! I had real trouble coming up with anything and the thing I did do in the end looks nothing like the Baseball Nut ice cream picture that was posted :-( I was going to do another ATC but I decided to use my Moleskine in the end!
I feel the need to apologise for this :-S I mean really, what does this have to do with baseballs or nuts?? :-P On the plus side I like the effect I got by just outlining the ice cream in the middle and i love the swirly background!! The colours don't show up great but the pinks are supposed to be the sauce that swirls through the ice cream and the yellow is the vanilla! I chose yellow because vanilla to me screams cream and I don't do cream haha!! It kind of looks like a mishmash of sherbet rainbow and mint choc chip......... I used coloured pencils and a black marker on this! I love colouring with pencils although the ones used here were quite cheap and not blendable at all :-P
I have yet to look on the Twinkle Twinkle blog for the next colour prompt but I am excited! I'm hoping I can pull something a bit better out of the bag this time!! I'm just off to look at all the other fab pieces of art :-D See you at the other side!!
Aww Caz don't be so hard on your self. Your drwaing is super. BJ
ReplyDeleteThe next colour prompt scares me... which I think means you will love it! :D
ReplyDeleteYou do realise you used the word "like" and "love" about parts of this? So why are you apologising? Dafty!
I love it and I love that you did it in your Moleskine too! Just you wait till you see mine - you'll see the non-resemblance then!
Love those swirls. :) Yummy!

No worries- the art just took you in a direction you hadn't anticipated- and I think it turned out very well!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're fine, the challenge doesn't have to do with baseballs or nuts, just the color of the ice cream. And you did it. I like it.
ReplyDeleteWe are always our own worst critics. I think you did a great job. After all, the background looked like the ice cream colors. Pretty special, if you ask me!!
ReplyDeleteJust keep creating pretty things like this one...keep up your spirits!
ReplyDeleteIt's great - I love the swirls on the background and the ice cream looks yummy - great work!
ReplyDeleteDelicious ice cream in your art journal Caz... and the swirls are awesome...

Yummy!Great piece of art My Dear.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art journal hun!
ReplyDeleteDon't apologize! It is lovely and sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou are funny - this page is great, perfect for this week's SOC flavour. The SOC colour/flavour is just a prompt, you can then take it where you want!
ReplyDeleteSee you next week at SOC!
I really like the effect you created! The colorful swirly background contrasting with the simple lines and shape of the ice cream cone. Nothing to apologize for!
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't put yourself down... it's good design and the bacground is beaut.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so hard on yourself. I love the simplicity of this piece and the subtle colours!

I don't think the art piece has to have anything to do with the name of the ice cream.....we're just to use it as inspiration, a jumping off point for colors. And you did that beautifully! Cool drawing...simple and summery!
ReplyDeleteOh too funny, it was hard for me too...and noone ( including me ) had ever heard of baseball nut...mine kinda ended up a little on the patriotic side, but in raspberry, lol Oh well, we move onto the next prompt, strawberry lemonade, much easier this time! And used some of the brads that you sent me too! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteLooks cool.. love the swirly bits.. very summery.. those were hard colors for me... hoping the next one is easier...lol
