I have been away from my AB for a few weeks doing other things so this is the week to return to it - I'm intrigued by the color challenges and now you've set the bar impossibly high! :) Thanks for sharing. - by the way - did you see that Inspiration Avenue's theme this week is mermaids - you're a shoe-in!Terriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989512064950173723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776771453860314178.post-17716222242211342862012-05-20T01:40:45.106-04:002012-05-20T01:40:45.106-04:00Stunning work Sandee, such gorgeous pages :)

I came here thinking I said something about it, including the fact that I have NEVER read Dr. Seuss. But there was nothing! And for that I apologize. My brain must have been thinking faster than my fingers could type, because I thought FOR SuRE I said I loved the outside the box way of thinking and you WERE able to create your own color wheel without compromising your theme.<br /><br />Apparently, I was racing ahead and thinking how I should have mentioned the paper, etc. and forgot to tell you how inventive you were. I suspect you probably don't believe this, but it was truly just an oversight on my part and my hurried-ness this week.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776771453860314178.post-24100451432373346142012-05-18T16:54:45.059-04:002012-05-18T16:54:45.059-04:00Well, I was certainly awed by your post--what a un...Well, I was certainly awed by your post--what a unique color wheel!

More a colour ric-rac than a wheel - LOL. Have to point out that green isn't a primary colour it is secondary. Yellow, Red and Blue are the primary colours.<br />As for the sky and magazine papers painting up differently, well I thought your sky was an iceberg!! Your sgraffito is great,not sure I'm into this sort of stuff, but I may have a go sometime.Well done for thinking outside of the box - BJBJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648216296129483315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776771453860314178.post-58210351944633553312012-05-18T05:49:15.192-04:002012-05-18T05:49:15.192-04:00Hi Sandee, me again.

That's how I felt when I ...Well blow me AWAY!! That's how I felt when I began reading this post. How impressive.<br /><br />I'm glad you used the sgraffito technique. It was something fun and it went perfectly with your theme. I was also surprised you found the pelican and clam shell in magazines. Way to go.<br /><br />When I read your ruminations, I realized I probably should have said something about magazine images. The thinner the magazine page, the cheaper the magazine. The high end magazines have much thicker pages. So pages are "slick," and that is why the entire industry is often called "slicks." <br /><br />National Geographics are clay based, and are a totally different paper altogether. That is why you can manipulate them using Turpentine, Nevr-dull, and/or Citra-Solve to change and manipulate the color on the pages.<br /><br />I appreciated your obsession with colors. At least you were able to discern the difference. Some of the better magazines have lots of yellow and there is always the freebie Pottery Barn and Anthropologie magazines. <br /><br />Have an awesome day, dear.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.com
