1B:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Blue Salvia <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As I mentioned last week in the Viburnum Palette<\/a> recipe post, my daughter Willow and I discovered a gorgeous public garden surrounding the City Hall close to where we live. It’s filled to the brim with colorful flowers. During one of our walks there, Willow snapped this photo (plus a gazzillion others), of this rich colored Blue Salvia plant.<\/span><\/p>\n Salvia is part of the mint family and comes in colors such as Red, Pink, White Yellow and most commonly Blue. It is this rich Blue Salvia that is the inspiration for this upcoming Volume-040 [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 September 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blue Salvia<\/em> is the bright Blue with the hint of Purple, that emanates from the open blossoms of the Salvia flower. Wild Blueberry<\/em> is the deep Navy Blue of the un-open buds, just waiting to strut their stuff. Sagebrush<\/em> is the dusky Green Gray of the dried leaves found near the base of the plant. And Warm Earth<\/em> is the soft Dark Brown of the mulched soil supporting the roots of this stunning flowering plant.<\/span><\/p>\n The recipes described above are from the Volume-040 B-Series <\/strong>Palette. They are free to download for everyone subscribed to my Polymer Clay Guest List<\/a>, Friday Email Newsletter.
