This lovely photo of some Vetch blossoms among the grasses, was taken by Doug just as the sun was beginning to set. \u00a0It was on top of a large sand dune overlooking the mighty Pacific Ocean. We were at Shipwreck Beach in Seaside, Oregon during our first PcT RoadTrip<\/a> (last year, Summer 2012).<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve seen several pictures, videos and color recipes already, that were inspired by that first PcT Roadtrip through Washington and Oregon. But this is what the trip looked like from up close.<\/span><\/p>\n

The picture reminds me of the peace and tranquility that floated in the air along the Oregon shoreline, on that particular day. This close up photo captures the simplicity of the soft, pretty colors and shapes of the small vetch flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vetch is a wild flower in the legume family. It looks much like a tiny Sweet Pea. Often it is considered a weed… something that gets yanked from the gardens of ‘real flower’s.<\/span><\/p>\n

But to me… like most wild flowers really… (except for the wretched Morning Glories and Buttercups that choke out my garden)… Vetch is a darling and beautiful flower that deserves to have the spotlight turned onto its face. May it shine in the warmth and glory, even if only for a brief moment, as you kneel down close to get a better look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we can all use some warmth and glory in our lives, I have decided to honor this sweet little flower, with its own set of polymer clay color recipes… just for itself! <\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this fun Summer 2013 color palette for the Vol-062-A recipe series!<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
