So this weeks summer of colour colours are pink, apple green and a bit of forest green.....oh I was happy about this!! These are colours that I could most definitely work with......or were they?
It all started well enough, I had my idea I just had to go for it...and go for it I did! I really should have planned it out more then I would have realised that A) my piece would be more green than pink which is not what I wanted and B) The medium I was using wasn't quite right for what I was using it on!!
I genuinely can not decide if I like this or not!! One minute I think yeah it's great the next I'm all like nook it's supposed to be PINK! I've been putting off painting this thing through fear of ruining it (I have a lot of fears about that sort of thing!) and ow I'm like ugh!
The close up of it is a little better! Damn you green for being too....green? haha! Well anyway i used my Posca paint pens on this bad boy. Which was a great idea until i realised all my pens are quite thick tipped as I usually paint vinyl toys with them. I had to use all my powers of concentration not to get pink on green and green on pink! It needs some touch ups too....if I ever get a thinner pen in these colours I am so on it!
Anyway I hope you enjoyed stopping by my little Blog! I'm off now, I have about a million things to do today and I'm going to a lampshade making class tonight! Before that I have to finish knitting a commission for someone (shhh its a secret) busy busy busy......
WOW! What a great idea! I absolutely love how your frame turned out. It is so creative and fun!!!! Such a wonderful way to use this week's colors!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a beautiful job with this challenge. I really like how the pink is framed by the two greens--like a frame within a frame!
ReplyDeleteCute photo frame and great use of the SOC colors.

Fantastic idea to use buttons coloured with your Posca Pens, i love using them also they have fantastic coverage and are fabulous to work with. Love the frame, a great idea of how to use this weeks colours :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteI think this is really cute. I like the way you have used more than one shade of pink along with the two shades of green. It looks like your makkers were perfect for this.
ReplyDeleteWhat an entertaining blogpost.
ReplyDeleteI like that you did something different - I haven't seen a button framed pink and green frame before. It's worked really well.
I think your idea works really well. It's a beautiful frame for a special photo inside it. Well done.

ReplyDeleteI love it Carol, you've got just the right balance of pinks and greens. I love those colours - I only have red, black and white plus gold and silver in my Posca pens - I may have to branch out!
ReplyDeleteOooh and please, please, please show us some of your vinyl figures! I reclaimed some My Little Ponies from the charity bag the other day - Ruby had stole them off me originally and now I have them back to finally alter :P
Well I think it is most delightful. BJ
ReplyDeleteI think you did a wonderful job with this challenge. ...I do love buttons!!...and I love the balance of the pinks and greens ....Mmmm I've never heard of Posca pens...may have to check them out!! ;)
