for our second week of colour inspiration Kristin gave us a cool mix of blue-greens and dark brown from mint chocolate chip.
Interesting how much blue there is in the mint ice-cream colour.
I used rockpools as my summer inspiration to create my piece this week, which features the 2nd letter of ‘create’. [I described my overall project goals here]
I’m enjoying having two pieces to work on, using different techniques, the background and the letter. Also enjoying pure digi creation with no photo as a starting point.
Check out all the wonderful creations on Twinkle, Twinkle – last week there were over 100 pieces linked in a wide range of media.
Wow...it looks great...lot of detailing which gives it a sculpture effect :)

I also noted how much blue was in the mint colored ice cream that Kristin showed. I'm glad you also pointed it out. I'm so impressed with digital. I have only played with digital once and probably wouldn't remember how I did it, anyway. Yours is always so realistic!
ReplyDeleteIt really looks like chocolate. It's making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful Helena... it surely does look like delicious chocolate... incredibly fabulous!!
