1B:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Golden Mushroom <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I know for most of us here, Spring is just around the corner. But since we always should be planning ahead, today I am showing a lovely warm, Summer Palette… inspired by a forest mushroom photo that Doug snapped last year.<\/span><\/p>\n And since Mushrooms always make me hungry, I named the colors in this palette with foodie type names. You should know however, that I never eat mushrooms found outdoors. There are just too many poisonous varieties to have to watch out for… so I have always stuck with the ones in the produce section at my local grocer. I prefer to stay alive so that I can be free to mix more color recipes! LOL<\/span><\/p>\n The recipes for each of the following 4 colors will be released during the month of April 2011 in Volume-035 [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 Golden Mushroom<\/em> is the warm mustard color so dominant in this tiny little fungi. Spice<\/em> is the rich russet red blushing the cheeks of this mushroom cap. Dried Basil<\/em> is the dusty herb green, found in the colors of the surrounding dried grasses. And Mushroom Soup<\/em> is the earthy gray brown so typical of a creamy bowl of Mushroom Soup but was also highlighted in the colors of the field grasses.<\/span><\/p>\n The recipes described above are from the Volume-035 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-035 A-Series<\/strong> Color Palette that paid library members will also receive during the month of April, then click here: Polymer Clay Color Recipes | Foxgloves Palette Thanks so much, Cindy, for all the hard work you do creating these palettes. And thanks for the beautiful and inspirational photo, Doug! <\/span><\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I just started to work on the color palettes last month. Now, that I watched the color mixing tute<\/a> here is another suggestion that I do that may help everyone out. Because I was working on doing so many at one time, I needed to make things go a little faster. So, I bought a little jewelry finding box that has 50 tiny little snap boxes and two larger boxes (it came with a tiny spoon and tweezers) and is only 10″ x 7 1\/4 ” and 2″ deep. (Of course, you can find it at Michaels!) This is great to hold your jewelry findings but it works super holding a small piece of pure color clay! I labeled each one and placed a small conditioned piece rolled out to the thickest setting on the pasta machine. This way all I have to do is pull out the “pure” colors I need for the recipe I’m making. Since they are already the same size I just cut out the sections I need and mix them together! I use a very tiny cutter. It can be a challenge to make a 1\/16″ but it can be done and I hardly have any left over. I will have just enough to make my chip. Also, I print all my cards, in the particular palette, on one sheet of paper with the palette photo at the top. I put them all in a 3 ring binder in a protective sheet in case the chip, if one falls off, I won’t lose it. I file them by volume number with the A series one side and B-series on the other side. This saves me time I don’t have to cut them out, they are together by palette, and you can flip through them and rearrange them how ever you like. So, far I love it and I’m almost caught up! Plus, I love leafing through them. I just admire the beautiful colors Cindy has dreamed up for us! I’ll post a photo on Cindy’s Polymer Clay Facebook Page<\/a> so you can see what I’ve done. Maybe it will work for you, too! <\/span><\/span>~Catalina<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I love the recipe cards and how you set them up to print and make your own set, very good idea. <\/span><\/span>~Sandra-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n ******************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n
