1B:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Butterfly Garden <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Gosh, is there anything more lovely than a cup of tea or coffee and a warm afternoon desert, while sitting in the garden gazing at the flowers and watching the butterflies flit around? <\/span><\/p>\n Because that is exactly the kind of thing I imagine when looking at this pretty Purple Geranium blossom that Doug photographed for us to enjoy! Naturally, with an image so wonderful, I was inspired to create a splendid palette of polymer clay colors.<\/span><\/p>\n The recipes for each of the following 4 Summer\/Fall colors will be released during the month of September in Volume-028 [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 <\/span><\/p>\n <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Butterfly Garden<\/em> is the softest, loveliest Violet Purple which is the most prominent in the petals of this Geranium blossom. Soft Kisses<\/em> is the dusty Orchid Fuchsia radiating from the center of the bloom. Plum Tart<\/em> is the deep rich Plum color that runs through the veins of the flower. And Hazelnut Cream<\/em> is a soft neutral Cream color inspired by the thought of eating a warm Plum Tart in the garden with a cup of hot coffee and Hazelnut Cream.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The recipes described above are from the Volume-028 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 Volume-028 A-Series<\/strong> Color Palette that paid library members will also receive during the month of Sept., then click here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes | Autumn Sunflower Palette I do love the idea of using nature as a palette. My mom always told me that… “If God put it on a flower you can wear it too.” <\/span>~TK<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Cindy, Here you are inspiring me and boosting my confidence again! I admire how you can take us through your thought process and break down what you see in the photo. I feel like you’re teaching me to “paint” with clay. Having never taken any art classes, I imagine that this is the way an art teacher engages students in beginning to see the world in a more nuanced way – a way in which recreating nature in art becomes a possibility through understanding and being able to dissect what one is seeing! <\/span>~Kimberlee-J<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I LOVE receipes….because I can’t really make up colours in my head yet. I am very new to polymer clay!! And frankly don’t want to waste my money on making ugly colours!! So it is nice to have that work done for me… gives me more time to play. <\/span>~Kam-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n ******************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n
