Blooming Complimentary

      This week I signed up for another challenge with  Louise Gale,

I have to choose a pair of colors that are of “opposite” hue (complimentary) in the color wheel. This is quite open, but of course, the challenge is just to create using those 2 complementary colors (we can also use black and white).  We will be creating with the theme of Blooms, Flowers, Fauna (Blooming).  Hence Blooming Complimentary, neat eh?!   Each of us has a 'swap buddy', which means basically we complete the piece and then send it, via snail mail, to our swap buddy to keep,  and I am just so honored to have Louise as my swap buddy!  I have already chosen my colors and have a little idea or two but I can't share until a few days after I mail to her otherwise it will spoil the surprise!  I am just so excited!  Watch this space toward the end of February when I will not only be able to share what I produced but also what I received from Louise!

Creative Colour Challenge

Well, after all my enthusiasm and good intentions I have stumbled at the first hurdle on this one.  Having joined Journaling for a Cause (which, by the way, I am really enjoying) late I have only just caught up with that.  Add to that a distinct lack of materials here it is now Saturday morning and I haven't done anything yellow!  I did consider sacking it altogether, however, it did say you don't have to submit every week so I will wait to see what this week brings!

Creative Colour Challenge

Today is day one of the Creative Colour Challenge .  The colour for this week is Sunflower Yellow.  So this week I need to create something using only this colour (and shades of) and a little black and white is allowed too.  So, no paint to hand I'm off out with the camera!


I'm lagging behind a little with the Journal for a Cause, mainly because I started late, but also because I don't have even simple things like decent pen and paper!  However the ideas are being recorded and I'm doing things as and when I can get hold of the things I want to use.  So they will be posted, maybe not every day and maybe not in the right order, but posted nevertheless!  Today's prompt is about things you are thankful for.  I love this prompt as it's something I do quite often.  I keep a pretty note book by my bed and whenever I feel the need I write down all the things I'm thankful for before I go to sleep.  So this one at least I may actually be able to post on time later today.
