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!

Exciting Times

There has been so much going on lately, mostly wonderful! I have been working on my flower drawings, but have not had a chance to post the last few. I am working on articles and a tutorial for 12 Months in View and am going to be offering two workshops at Etsy's World Craft Party 2013 at the Arcade in Bridgeport, CT. That takes place on Thursday, June 20th. I was also asked today if I would be interested in teaching papermaking workshops through an organization I have been involved with. You know I said yes!

I've also signed up for two summer blog challenges. One is a photography scavenger hunt and the other is a Summer of Color.

Plus I have been busy with outdoor adventures and have been posting that news on my nature/horticulture blog.

I will be getting this blog updated with all of this as soon as I am able.
