Polymer Clay Color Recipes | Pink Peony Palette (Premo Sculpey)
1B: Peony
2B: Daisy
3B: Moss
4B: Mushroom
I have always loved this gorgeous Peony Flowers that bloom in my garden during the Springtime. A couple of years back, we picked a whole bunch of the blossoms to take to my parents 40th Wedding anniversary. Everyone was delighted to have the brilliant color as part of the celebration. It is a very fond memory for me.
But I'm a bit concerned this year. Due to some unseasonably warm weather for us up here in Vancouver over the last few weeks, the buds for my peonies are already peeking out of the soil. A severe cold snap at this stage would definitely harm them. And that could mean no Spring bloom :'(
If that happens though, at least I have photos thanks to my husband Doug. He is the one that snapped the picture shown above. As soon as I saw it, I could feel the inspiration coming on to create a polymer clay color palette for you guys. And now here it is.
The recipes for each of the following 4 Spring colors will be released during the month of February in Volume-021 [B-series]. Everyone who is subscribed to my Polymer Clay Guest List will be able to download them for free. They will be emailed to you one per week on Friday Mornings throughout the month of February:
- Peony (Recipe 021-1B)
- Daisy (Recipe 021-2B)
- Moss (Recipe 021-3B)
- Mushroom (Recipe 021-4B)
Peony is the sultry Hot Pink so dominant in this wonderful Peony blossom. Daisy is a soft creamy white of a Daisy that makes a pretty garden companion for the Peony. Moss is the greenish brown of the moss that covers the damp rocks and soil under the Peony bushes. And Mushroom is the deep soft brown of the tiny mushrooms, growing in the shadows of the towering flowers.
Your recipes for different colors are priceless and such a time saver. I took index cards, printed the color and recipe on them then glued a baked sample on the card. Now when I need that just so color I can just find it on my index card and whip it up with out the waste and mistakes of finding just what one I need. Fantastic!! Thanks. ~Yvonne-B
I'm new at polymer clay but after encouragement from Cindy on my blog I got up enough courage to start playing. Color has been fascinating for me. After doing some color mixing experiments that went horribly wrong, I am excited to start using the color recipe cards! ~Judith-R
I love how you take inspiration for color palettes from your environment! It's so much more fun than just looking at color swatches. ~Karen-B

I love peonies also. The ones in my garden are pale pink, but just as lovely. Now when I see them I will also think of you. Thanks, Cindy.

You might be able to put some burlap or something to help protect them.

Thanks guys!
Your Peonies sound pretty Carolyn. If they lasted longer I would fill my garden full of them.
Good idea Ken. Don't have burlap, but maybe I'll pile on some leaves or extra compost. That would protect them should we get any cold temperatures. Will be doing some gardening tomorrow so I'll do it then.

Oooh,that's a pretty pink! Of course your inspiration flower is gorgeous. Your DH takes such beautiful pictures. I hope the lovely peonies make it through any low temps you get "up there" where you live!

@ Cindy: I haven't had time to try any of these recipes yet, but I intend to try the peony recipe tomorrow. I think it will make a beautiful color for one of the hearts you taught us last month.

Cindy,
I have gone back and gotten all of the recipes that are free on your site, as well as the ones I pay for with my membership. My question is this: Some of your older recipes call for colors that have been discontinued. Do you have a secondary option to use for those? Do you know of another brands color that may be very close to the one no longer available?
Off hand I can think of only one of the discontinued colors, though I know there are more. The color I recall is coral, and I believe it was a sculpey III color. Any help would be appreciated, as I know you work your tail off doing the recipes and videos!!! Please know your work and help is very much appreciated and does not go un-noticed!!!
Have a blessed day,
Tiffany

Hi Tiffany,
Thanks for your kind words. It is a pain with manufacturers discontinue certain colors. Even though it is theoretically possible to recreate the color, it will have different mixing properties than the original. So the best thing to do is just set aside any recipes that you come across which use discontinued colors.
As you probably have noticed, all of my latest color recipes are based on Premo clay colors that have been around 'forever'… which means that they will probably continue to be available will into the future.
