Creative Colour Swap!



Ooooh it sooo good to back....I've had an enforced computer holiday due to a spyware attack. Sounds dramatic hey? More like a right royal pain!
Oh well every cloud and all that..I've now got plenty of art work in the waiting and things to share..not all at once however!
Over the weekend I was so delighted to receive a package from my swap partner for the Creative Colour Challenge I was taking part in over at Louise Gale's blog.
The challenge was to pick two complimentary colours and only use these colours (plus optional black and white) to create a piece featuring blooms! A very tall order I thought!! But not for the lovely Sam at Gollywobbles who made the gorgeous wall hanging above.....
I LOVE it! And so funny that we both chose to make stitched wall hangings...kindred spirits I feel :)
I particularly LOVE the words she wrote....so relevant to where my life is a right now. So a HUGE thankyou Sam! You made my day :)
I did this painting using the complimentary colours in the world of Jenny...orange and turquoise :)
Well i figured orange was kind of near red and turquoise was kind of near green so voila..complimentary!
I'm needing to gather some paintings together for an wee exhibition I'm taking part in (very exciting!!) so I transferred the painting onto fabric and turned it into a wall hanging to send to Sam.
Now I'm off to blog hop and say hi to you all...oh I've so been missing this! :)xx

    Bummer about your computer, glad it could be fixed. It is amazing how dependent we become on these little machines.

  10. The wall hanging you have made is just sooo beautiful, Jenny. You are so talented. And the hanging you receiveed really touched my heart. The words are so true. Hope you're having a great week. I am currently buried under a pile of wool, crocheted granny squares and knitted squares. It's the best place to be! Em xxx
