Artistic Influence Challenge — Color Focus

April 14th, 2008 by Kristy

Hello Everyone! It’s Challenge Chick #2/Kristy/gandcsmama here. This is my first ever blog post and I am super excited to be bringing you the first ARTISTIC INFLUENCE CHALLENGE. The rest of the CT ladies and I are so thrilled to be bringing this family of challenges out of our forum and onto the blog. Tillie and I both love and find inspiration in all kinds of art — painting, photography, music, and writing to name a few. Every other Monday we will be post a wonderful piece of art that has inspired us (and the rest of Mi’s girls) and all you have to do is be inspired and create a LO using any products you would like. Occasionally we will ask you to use some of Mi’s amazing products for your chance to win a bigger and more fabulous prize. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? So here we go…

ARTISTIC INFLUENCE — COLOR FOCUS

Inspiration: Breath by Gerhard Richter

Breath by Gerhard Ricghter

For this week’s challenge I want you all to focus on color. Please let this piece and its colors (their richness, the way the are blended…) inspire you. I can’t wait to see what you do.

Here is what our ladies have come up with:

By Lexicam:

    I finally finished it! http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=316803&cat=500
    The texture of the piece made me think about different textiles, which led me to threads, like intricate hand-embroidery, which I’ve been dabbling in lately. Then I remembered this quote and it all came together. :) I tried to stick with the same blended, watercolor-ish like color, too. This was very fun!
