Speaking of Circles - Summer of Color and Etsy Craft Party

Being involved with several things at once right now, I decided to combine this week's Summer of Color Challenge with the demo sheets I needed to create for the upcoming Etsy World Craft Party workshops I'll be facilitating. Our theme for the party is "People Make the World Go Round". The facilitators are all working with the theme of circles or spheres. One of my workshops will be "Creating Decorative Papers using Everyday Objects". Employing printing, stamping, stenciling and masking, all with circle shapes, I created these papers.


Next, I cut and tore them into smaller pieces and made these three collages.


Each week participants of the Summer of Color Challenge vote on the color combination they like best. The combo with the most votes wins. I voted for tangerine and watermelon for next week - hope it's the winner!
