Summer Of Colour

Kristin of  Twinkle Twinkle has begun a 10 week blogfest called 'Summer Of Colour'. This is a 10 week challenge to produce work in a different color theme each week.

While I said I would probably do collage, I have so many 'irons in the fire' that I will probably mix it up a bit.

This week's colour is 'blue'... so where do I start?

Collage?...

Moon Fish


Painting?...
Big City Blues

...or jewellery?

Fused Glass Pendant

Of course I could have added a digital image, etc., etc., and so forth... but you have to stop somewhere.

    Oh Joe! I am all smiles - and sincerely touched and excited that you have been inspired to create all of these beautiful blue pieces - they are simply stunning. I love all the texture and bold color - and your Big City Blues painting really struck me - it is JUST gorgeous! We are lucky to have such a talented artist joining us.
    Sorry if this first week is a bit confusing ;). The goal for this week is to link your project ideas for the event - and you can link this post to the blue week as of Monday. We will start the blue blog hop and blue giveaway prizes will be shown then. Thanks again for everything, Kristin xo

    Kristin... Then lets call this my 'ideas' and I'll post another next week for 'blue'.

    Uta.. Thanks for returning visits. Amazing how we've connected via someone on the other side of the world.

    Ella... Welcome and thanks.

    Luthien... We do like our colour here on the Sunshine Coast. It's winter here now so forget the bikini if you're planning a trip.

    Hi Jo - I think I've seen you participating at PPF and now I see you're joining Summer Color too. I'm also using both groups to help keep me motivated and encouraged by all the talented artists out there.
    Look forward to seeing more of your gorgeous art over the summer.

    Welcome Terrie... Extra motivation is always helpful. Lucky you... I should rename it 'Winter' of Colour. It's cold in this part of the world. Lucky you.

    Jo, these are all amazing; I love how you used dashes of color to elevate the beauty of blue! I love the fish one, so happy and calming at the same time. The city scape is amazing and the art pendant is lovely~
