Basically, this is a pretty flower, with pretty colors and I like it. Nothing deeper than that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">To be fair to the Hydrangea, it truly is a remarkable flower. Did you know that this particular genus species, Hydrangea Macrophylla will bloom either Pink or Blue depending on the acidity of the soil? Pretty cool EH?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Hydrangea enthusiasts can manipulate the pH of the soil by using Lime or Aluminum Sulphate. I haven&#8217;t tried it myself yet&#8230; too many polymer clay experiments to do first before I start messing around with horticulture!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If I remember correctly, this Pink Hydrangea blossom was in a bouquet that we got from the realtor when we sold our apartment. So this picture must be pretty old. When Doug showed me the photo, I loved all the different shades of pink in the petals, and the gray background, and just knew it would be the perfect inspiration for the next Volume-043 [B-series] color recipe collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Everyone who is subscribed to my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/\">Polymer Clay Guest List<\/a> will be able to download the recipes for free, one per week on Friday mornings during the month of December 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Fading Hydrangea <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 043-1B)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Plum Rose <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 043-2B)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Claret <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 043-3B)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Rock Path <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Recipe 043-4B)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><em>Fading Hydrangea<\/em> is the soft Yellowish Pink found in the oldest blooms as they dry and fade in the sun. <em>Plum Rose<\/em> is the soft Magenta based Pink so dominant in this big fat blossom head. <em>Claret<\/em> is the deep Plum Wine found in the shadowed center of the flower.

I took index cards, printed the color and recipe on them then glued a baked sample on the card. Now when I need that just so color I can just find it on my index card and whip it up with out the waste and mistakes of finding just what one I need. Fantastic!! Thanks. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Yvonne-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I&#8217;m just beginning to experiment with mixing colors, so I believe the recipe cards will come in really handy. Keep up the fantastic work! <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~June-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Joining your &#8216;club&#8217; is the best thing I ever did, I used to mess around with Polymer Clay some years ago, but always had problems and gradually lost incentive. In particular, I have no colour sense, so, having your fabulous colour cards every week is just a dream. I actually read on a beading artist&#8217;s blog that she got angry with people wanting to know exactly what colours she&#8217;d used and wondered why they didn&#8217;t just try for themselves. Well, I could tell her why! Whenever I tried I just got grimaces from people. I think it&#8217;s necessary to have someone to get you started and give you a few designs \/ patterns to practice to gain confidence, so you can then &#8216;paint outside the lines&#8217; without worrying about how it will turn out. So, thank you again dear tutor, I hope you&#8217;ll be around forever! <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Marion-R<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">***********************************************************************************************<strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #000000;\">If you would like more information about the Members Library, here are some direct links:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/category\/benefits\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Library Member Benefits<\/a> and What Others Are Saying<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Order Page for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Color Recipe and Video Back Issue Packages<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/become-a-member\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Become A Full Member<\/a> at the Library<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 575px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 200px;\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/cindy-sig.jpg\" alt=\"Cindy Lietz Signature\" width=\"114\" height=\"99\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/images\/blog\/polymer-clay-tutor.jpg\" alt=\"Polymer Clay Tutor\" width=\"200\" height=\"26\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vol-043-B Series [Premo Sculpey] 1B: Fading Hydrangea 2B: Plum Rose 3B: Claret 4B: Rock Path<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[588,2318],"class_list":["post-14681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-color-recipes","tag-flowers","tag-hydrangeas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14681\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
