Summer of Color 2015

Okay, I admit it! I am a horrible blogger. Sad to say my poor little blog has seen no activity from me since last year at this time.  I don't seem to have enough time in the day. However, I am making time to play again this year over at http://twinkletwinklelikeastar.blogspot.com with the other artists who are joining in for Summer of Color 2015. If you are looking for a TON of artistic inspiration, you should definitely hop over to Kristin's blog and check it out!

After much deliberation, I finally decided what I am going to do for the next six weeks. Each week for 6 weeks we get a new color prompt and we can submit whatever kind of art project we want. I was really having a hard time deciding what to do and I was at Michaels and discovered that these large letters were on clearance! I love to alter these letters so decided that is what I would do - of course the word SUMMER is perfect for the next six weeks :)  I was hoping to find all of the letters I needed in the canvas covered letters, but unfortunately I had to mix some up a bit but that is okay because I plan to cover the letters with paper or fabric or who knows what!

As you can see, I have already finished the S for this week. Here is a close-up picture of the letter S for this week: 

 The color prompt for this first week was to use 2 blues and 1 green. This S was covered with light blue denim and I liked the way it looked with the green and the teal blue that I had chosen so I left it as is and just added the other colors. I have buttons in denim, teal and that lovely "spring green". The letter is covered around the edges with a lovely white and green floral print which I also used for the butterfly and the smaller punched flowers.

I am so excited now that I know what my goal is for this year. I can't wait to see the final result with the different colors! This is so much fun! Come and play with us! Just hop over to Kristin's blog (posted the link above) and you can read all about it. You don't have to finish anything by the deadline - this is just for fun and inspiration - but there is a lovely prize every week for those who do finish by the deadline :)

See you next week!

Much love and blessings to you all -
