1B:<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Mountain Lake <\/span>Don’t you just love the colors that nature throws at us! It is like Mother Nature wants each and every one of us to be an artist… Why else would she give us so many inspiring and beautiful things to look at?<\/span><\/p>\n Today’s color palette is based on another gorgeous photograph that Doug shot during our Whistler vacation<\/a> last summer. This one was taken high on the mountain near one of the dazzling reservoirs at the base of an alpine bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n I hope you enjoy the color recipes from this Lakeside Palette. It’s just the thing to get the creative juices flowing!<\/span><\/p>\n The recipes for each of the following 4 Spring colors will be released during the month of March in Volume-022 [B-series]. Everyone who is subscribed to my Polymer Clay Guest List<\/a> will be able to download them for free. They will be emailed to you one per week on Friday Mornings throughout the month of March:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Mountain Lake<\/em> is the mesmerizing blue of the mineral rich water. Fireweed<\/em> represents the lavender tinted color of the pink flowers surrounding this beautiful alpine reservoir. Lake Pine<\/em> is the dusty sage green of the wind swept pine trees.\u00a0 And Shoreline<\/em> captures the soft sandy gray tones of the rocks and pebbles along the water’s edge.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Thanks for posting some recipes for all of us to share. For those of use who really don’t have an easy time figuring out how to arrive at just the right color yet, these recipes are a real helper!<\/span>~Cynister<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Can you say MUD!! I have had my fair share of mixing the wrong colors together. I have never had a course in color theory and learned pretty quickly that is is difficult to always get the desired result. But thanks to your color recipes I’m doing a lot better now!<\/span> <\/span><\/span> <\/span> ~Katina-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And this one is kinda funny….<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Though I am literally brand new at the P.C. bead making, I have already gotten a ‘different eye’ in my surroundings for looking at color. I was actually in my bathroom the other day, for my morning sit down and noticed my shower curtain. It is in rich browns, golds and tans. I’m thinking what great colors and textures it would be use to as a polymer clay tube bead. Also, I got a catalog from a well known flower company and just looking through it, at the color spectrum available in nature, I see ‘treasure’ now in even my junk mail! Thanks for helping me to be inspired with the idea of color in nature, mail and yes, even my bathroom curtain.<\/span> ~Karen-O<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The recipe names listed above are from the Vol-022 B-Series.
