I am rolling along with the Index Card a Day challenge. The prompts for week four were anchor, terrarium, emerald, cappuccino, bougainvillea, souvenir and wind chimes.
I don’t think that the writing that I did on the wind chimes card will show up in the picture. It reads, “Why should the birds, the crickets and the cicadas be the only ones in nature’s orchestra? The wind wants to join in the symphony.”
Somehow, we have arrived at the turnover of another month, and it is once again time for me to share my 4×4” squares for June. Partway through May, I started limiting myself to one color for a week. I continued this single color exploration in June.
Working in a single color made me really pay attention to using different color values – light and dark tints, tones and shades. Using a range of color values adds more visual interest, just like using textures, or varying shape sizes, lengths and widths of design elements. I am moving on from my own little color challenge, I don’t know yet if I will work in a theme for July’s 4×4 squares. I do know that I need to get stitching. Surf on over here next week for something on the music that rings in my head and my art.
