As some know, I move into my first "Big Girl" apartment at the beginning of the month. All of the walls are white and the carpet, beige. Obviously, it needs a little color. The bathroom became a combination of Tan/Camel, Chocolate Brown, a pastel Teal and a deeper Teal, all thanks to the Shower curtain. I'm going to carry this combination, or at least the Chocolate and Teals, into the studio space through new basket drawers and some handmade art.
In case you didn't guess from the image, the piece is going to be a triptych. All of the dark areas will be a deep Chocolate brown 80t weight paper; the medium shading is a deep Light Blue (the company calls it "Ocean Mist"...it's almost the color of my car) in the same weight; and the lightest/white area will be a Carmel/Camel, same weight. The final size before framing is 7.5 inches x 24 inches each. The center one (Bubbles) was started last night. More posts to come with updated pics.




Quick update: The cards are coming along nicely. It's just a matter of what to package them in at this point. Upcoming posts will include more info about the cards and a field trip B and I took last Saturday to the Contemporary Arts Center and the Illinois Antique Center.
