Hard to believe that there is only one more week left to Kristin's fun Summer of Color Challenge! This week's colors are Apple Red and Yellow.
I created a skyline, following the steps in this post.
I was inspired by the moody skyline in this pin:
Here's how my skyline looked after gelli print collage and free hand sketching:
And here's how it ended up after glazing and adding text:
I never would have thought to have apple red and yellow in the sky - thank you Kristin! If you're inspired to create your own skyline, I hope you'll let me know!
I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I was recently featured on the Create Mixed Media blog in a feature called "Living the Creative Life." You can read part one here, and part two here!
Thank you to Rice Freeman-Zachary for inviting me to tell my story!
Also, I was honored to be in the designer spotlight at Simon Says Stamp and Show for this flag, inspired by Sue Pelletier and Jasper Johns:
I am leaving for Israel for 10 days, and have a few posts scheduled for while I'm away. I hope to be able to share some pictures of my trip while I'm there!
Thank you for visiting! I hope you will leave me a comment to let me know you were here. I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can.
its good to see you get noticed for your art. i thought the flag was wonderful and i'm glad others thought so too.
ReplyDeleteLove your skyline! and I love your idea for collaging pieces of your gelliprints! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteReally is amazing how non-traditional colors are so eclectic. It came out beautiful and the skyline.. nice. Please be safe in your travels.
ReplyDeleteLove that yellow sky......and your flag of course! So much texture......Have and wonderful and safe trip to Israel. WE will be seeing you when you are back. xox
ReplyDeleteLove your Gelli collages! The skyline effect is very cool with the glazing and black outlines.
ReplyDeleteThe colours work so well, and make such a striking image. I love the way you have added the words on the yellow background. As you say, the red and yellow sky may sound wrong, but it looks so right and so exciting.
ReplyDeleteI love your playful attitude and way you created this skyline. What a perfect way to honor this week's SOC colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your other accomplishments, too. I love that flag.
On the prairies here in Canada, where the wide open skies can be seen, apple red and yellow can be a common site.
ReplyDeleteI bought a gelli print maker a while ago, and I have been watching all of the ways that you use it, I must try it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Congratulations on being featured! I hope you have a wonderful trip!
