Summer of Colour–citron green and turquoise

for the past 2 years of summer of colour,  Kristin chose our weekly colour palette but this year she is providing a series of 2 colour pair options and we vote each week.  The first winner was citron green and turquoise

sc-1-colours

– nice bright colours, if not in my preferred segment of the colour wheel.

I’m delighted to have started on this challenge again and had a lovely morning playing in PSE on pixel magic

This was my starting point

I played with it and loved 5 of the variants

My two favourites, which I’ll print up are

sc-1-a

and

sc-1-b

both of which I think have fabulous depth and I feel as if I’m going to fall into them if I look for too long.

I’ve been enjoying precision typesetting (courtesy of Cathy Z) recently and so I used these patterns for a subway poster esque final piece

sc-1-dance

wow that was lots of fun and creatively satisfying – looking forward to what others have created with these 2 colours and the wide range of medium that people use.
