The Summer of Color

Over at this Blog "Twinkle Twinkle like a star" they are having an ongoing Challenge called "The color of Summer".."Ice Cream Inspirations" Each week they will give you some colors of Ice Cream  to work with. You are suppose to create a what ever you want using these colors.

The first week the colors were yellow, pink, orange, and a smidgen of white. Just like Sherbet!! Yummy!!

I thought what better then to create a Cotton Candy Gal... This time as my substrate I used an old book cover. I cut out the cover, loaded it with Gesso and went to work using the colors on my background. What fun I had! I could have ate the book cover when I was done as it looked so inviting!! LOL


Once again my camera took a lousy picture... booo on my camera!
