1B:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> California Poppy <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like a rich red lipstick or a classy pair of red shoes, the California Poppy adds a luscious punch of color to natures\u00a0 landscape. So rather than compete for attention with such a show stopping color, I decided to pair this fantastic Poppy Red with a collection of neutrals that make it shine like the star it really is.<\/span> The recipes for each of the following 4 Summer colors will be released during the month of July in Volume-026 [B-series]. Everyone who is subscribed to my Polymer Clay Guest List<\/a> will be able to download them for free. They will be emailed to you one per week on Friday mornings.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n California Poppy<\/em> is the richest, most luxurious Red that you can find in the flower. Thorny Branch<\/em> is a dark mysterious almost Black Brown that supports, yet grounds the headstrong Red. Prairie Grasses<\/em> is a Warm Taupe that perfectly compliments the Brown and Red and brings a mid tone to the palette. Cottonwood<\/em> is a soft earthy cream color that brings light and balance to this rich palette.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The recipe names listed above are from the Vol-026 B-Series <\/strong>Palette. They are free to download, for everyone subscribed to my Polymer Clay Guest List<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to see the Vol-026 A-Series<\/strong> Color Palette that paid library members will also receive during the month of July, then click here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes | Marsh Reeds Palette I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your website. I am excited to try out all the new color cards and I will definitely tell all my fellow polymer clay guild people about this website especially because that is the number one problem with so many — colors and mixing. I think I am going to start to finally like my finished products enough to put them on Etsy. Thanks again.<\/span>~Lupe-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m useless at colour mixing so it’s brilliant that you guide us through. <\/span>~Andrea-D<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Cindy, you gave me the confidence to really commit to experimenting with mixing colors. I’m using your little pill sample technique and I’m so happy with the results! Plus my experimentation has led me to find a beautiful shade of purple that is just perfect for making beads to support my local university team. Fancy that! Plus it’s just a pretty purple! Thanks for instilling confidence and providing some really great recipes. I think the best part about these recipes is the way the translucent works to enhance the quality of the color. Kinda makes it POP! <\/span>~Kimberlee-J<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m still new at mixing colors. Thanks for the recipes. They help so much. <\/span>~Brenda-E<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
