With all the crazy hustle and bustle that happens over the Holiday season, sometimes you just need to slow down and take the time to smell the roses<\/em>… or in this case… smell the cedar boughs<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter is a great time to appreciate the heady scent of evergreen trees, and enjoy what little color there is in the outdoors during this chilly season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the garden plants where I live up here in Western Canada, have died back and lost their vibrant colors of Fall. The sky is mostly gray, the leaves are brown and rotting, and there seems to be little to find out there for inspiration… color wise that is… Unless you look at things closely!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The other day when my daughter Willow said she was heading outside to take some color recipe pictures for me, I looked through the window at the dismal landscape and thought to\u00a0 myself… Good luck with that!<\/em> Of course I did not say it out loud, since it is never right to squelch someone’s artistic plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

And to my delight when Willow came back inside, she had a camera full of color inspiration that was impressive to behold. I’m so proud of her blossoming skills as a budding photographer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, today’s photo is of a tiny 10mm bead sized seed cone on our huge Yellow Cedar tree in the front yard. It was snapped with a macro lens that did a brilliant job of capturing all the natural color and detail so beautifully. I hope you enjoy the image, as you allow your imagination to smell its amazing woodsy scent!<\/span><\/p>\n

The following recipes for this Vol-044 A-series color palette will be added to the Polymer Clay Members Library in January 2012:<\/span><\/p>\n
