Confused? You should be. Blame the lovely Tracey Fletcher-King and Jen Maclean - their combined efforts led to the colour challenge mixing blue and orange. So I did. I mixed it on paper, and on my hands which now have a fantasy/sci fi aspect to them - can't quite decide if it's alien or elfin! There's also some on my clothes and a tiny splash on the carpet. In fact, there are so many 'tiny splashes on the carpet' that soon I'll have a whole newly designed floor covering - to match the paint spattered walls..
Anyway, I am unable to show you the result in its entirety due to it being my man's birthday card and I don't want him to see it in advance! I like chopping my art up though - adds to the intrigue!

Loving Blorange.........lol Hugs Annette x
ReplyDeleteYour sneak peek is beautiful...can't wait to see the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteThe combination is really lush! There's a lot of depth going on. :)
ReplyDeleteBlorange came about because I couldn't decide whether blue or orange were my favourite colour... so blorange it is... and I am thrilled it is gracing the man's birthday card... he probably deserves a birthday card if he reads the blog... I could reveal Sinus'next 20 birthday cards and there would be a good chance he wouldn't see them... he only reads them if phantom tells him to and she would keep the escret... have a great evening...xx
ReplyDeletePerfect name you came up with for your color. Blorange. Your carpet and floor sounds like the one in my studio..new color splattered!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the APR - I love your mixed up blorange colour. Who knows, maybe one day it will make it's way into the dictionaries :0) Mo
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful, Love the Blorange dedication to the cause, Blorange carpets may become a 'must have' trend! :)
ReplyDeletewhat you've showed me is gorgeous and now I wish it were a bookmark! I'm sure he'll love it.
ReplyDeleteI really like what I see, you met the challenge well. Show us the entire card post-birthday, OK?

Love that combo of colors. I've used it many times myself.
ReplyDeleteReally great combination, I am sure he will love your efforts on his behalf!
ReplyDeleteawesome. I love your story and the alien or elfin idea.
ReplyDeleteThis little taste of your art is gorgeous, I'm sure your man will love it. Good to see someone else decorates the floor and walls with paint as well :)

Just a snippet to keep us intrigued ;D
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous even if it will now mean either splashing more on the floor to even it out of replacing it!
I usually have the same alien/elfin fingers when I dabble with my silk paints. There's no way I could be sneaky...I always have the tell tale signs. :-/
Have a wonderful week!
