1B:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Sea Glass <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was my shutterbug daughter Willow, that took this nature photo while climbing in in the big cherry tree at Grandma’s house. Figures she would have her camera with her :-)<\/span><\/p>\n Today’s color palette was originally going to be called Wood Bug<\/em> … because of the little guy just peeking out from under the title bar graphic in the picture. But since he is so hard to see, that name does not really work too well.<\/span><\/p>\n So I changed my mind and used Peeled Bark<\/em> as the name for this upcoming Volume-039 [B-series] color palette. Everyone who is subscribed to my Polymer Clay Guest List<\/a> will be able to download the recipes for free, one per week on Friday mornings during the month of August 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sea Glass<\/em> represents the green lichen on this tree branch… it’s the exact same color as some surf tumbled glass fragments that I’ve found while beachcombing along our beautiful west coast shores. Moss Stone<\/em> is the Stone Gray color of the clean bark patches not yet covered by lichen. Peeled Bark<\/em> is the soft Brown revealed in the underside of the peeling bark. And Redwood<\/em> is the Rusty Red Brown of the branch where the bark has been worn away to bare wood. The recipes described above are from the Volume-039 B-Series <\/strong>Palette. They are free to download for everyone subscribed to my Polymer Clay Guest List<\/a>, Friday Email Newsletter.

It is an inspiration when you share how you come by your palettes. I picture myself walking the beach with you. Looking forward to seeing what this artistic community will do with this… the accomplishments of others lightens my days. All of you are awesome! <\/span><\/span>~Joyce-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You know Cindy, if you ever decide to give up clay, you’d probably be very successful at Interior Design. Your color palettes are awesome. <\/span><\/span>~Katie-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I like your color recipes and really would like more. I do have a problem with picking colors that look good together. I like earthtones and they do not reduce well, and tend to get lost in my designs when reduced. I have been working with polymer clay for quite some years now. Thanks for your help from all of us clayers. <\/span><\/span>~Lynn-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n ******************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n
