Old Habits

Can’t control myself. As soon as I am home I head straight to Amazon…have a shortcut on my browser. Today goodies arrived.
Did you follow Maggie Maggio’s online color instructions? I tried. I have a binder filled with the downloads and it is on my to do list. I find using a lesson from the web a bit awkward….
Welllll…..not only is all that information here…..there is so much more. Lindly Haunani’s color sensibilities AND Maggie’s in one tome. I briefly paged thru (dear Cynthia Tinapple of PCD fame with her own fabulous color sense wrote the intro!)

My initial fear…a book on color would be full of illustrations and theory. Little applicable material. From my brief looksee that is certainly not so! Ladies you have hit just the right balance.
Tonight it is my reading material. And I am slipping it under my pillow…osmosis you know…..

Along with polymer clay, I find bead weaving supremely rewarding. The only stitch to frustrate me has been RAW (right angle weave). Marcia DeCoster has authored one of Lark’s Masterclass Books on the subject.
I have already picked a project that looks classy, flashy, and relatively easy to start. As with all of Lark’s publications the layout is great. Marcia DeCoster has produced a fine work that will allow me to finally conquer this weave!


Yes there is more. For another day. I am busy mixing clay to match the colors of SoftFlex Trios Tranquility!
