Story Boards, Color Palettes, and Textures Oh My

I have a couple of new passions right now....one is storyboards/mosaics, the other is color palettes.  I shouldn't really call either one of these new since I have had fun with these before, but they are currently my "take the time out of my day to play with" passion at the moment.  Both of these play toys have been around for awhile but they continue to gain fans which makes it really nice for us that enjoy playing but not all the work in creating either one of these masterpieces (not mine, theirs).  More and more artists are sharing their templates for mosaics as well as one of my fav's is Rita at The Coffee Shop Blog. She has a free template for creating color palettes.  Here is her link.  She also has a great line-up of storyboards as well.

Kim Klassen thru her Beyond Layers Class, click here to join, is sharing some new storyboards.  And you know Kim, everything she does is top drawer, first class, number 1.  And there are more talented lovelies out there in blog-world creating and sharing their work with us.  I love blogging, it feeds my creative soul.  And thank you to all you extra creative souls out there that make my life easier.

A few color palettes....if you try them I know you will become addicted just like I have....






A sweet little M&M Story Board.....heavenly milk chocolate with a sweet saying on each piece.


For Kim Klassens's Texture Tuesday.....her latest free texture, Revolution.

  4. I couldn't agree more. Blogging fills my creative soul too. So glad you have found this outlet. What talent you have! Your work is exquisite! Really love that third color palette and your last photo tugged at my heart. Perfect for solitude! Thanks so much for joining the Poetic Winter Challenge! I do hope you'll join in this Friday when we move to "warmth".

  9. OMG . . . Deanna! The colors are AMAZING and I want to cover myself up in all of them! Colors are so wonderful in how they can make you feel so inspired and good inside.

    But the image I love most today, is of the lone berry on the tree. That is just stunning - as is the sentiment behind it.

    Beautiful beautiful work, as always.

    Have a wonderful week,

    Angie
