Kristin at the Twinkle, Twinkle blog is hosting her annual "Summer of Color" event. She selects a color palette and artists create using that palette - six weeks, six palettes, six creations - tons of fun! This summer, I'm working with plaster strips, as part of my creative focus on 3D mixed media this month. This week's combination two shades of pink and an orange. I used magenta, rose and pyrrole orange. I embedded some puzzle pieces into the plaster before I added washes of the colors. The images are from napkins; the feather is from the chicken coop. I really enjoyed the process, and it came together more easily than last week's creation. I think that's one of the wonderful things about working in the same medium each week - it gets easier and more developed.
Here are my creations from my first two weeks:
I think the both feel very summery, so I plan to continue with that as a theme. These are also pushing me to realize that I really like this style for 3D mixed media. I might experiment with a few other things this month, but I'm feeling like I may have found my groove early this month!

Wonderfully summery - and I like how your feather bridges the two patches of pink.

Great job Rinda!
You are so good at mixed media work! Lovely pieces!
I've always wanted to work in plaster, because there is so much texture and potential there. I think you have truly found your calling in this mixed media. I especially like the bird and the puzzle pieces.
Oh these are gorgeous... I love the dimension of the plaster strips...
xo
lovely...can't wait to see the rest of your creations in the weeks ahead
ooh very nice :)lots of interesting textures to look and would have a hard time not reaching out to touch it, looks very tactile
So pretty. The way you used the dimensional pieces makes it so interesting. Loving the bird too, of course.
Definitely summery looking. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of yours.
