Inspire Me Thursday - Limited Palette
Hi!
This week at IMT, the topic is limited palette. In working on an idea for a few ATCs, I used the limited palette on the left. (The pale jade and grey colors on the right side of the card aren't scanning well)
After the palette was fixed. I made the surface design (first image) for the two coffee cups and applied it to the cups, altering the perspective a bit.

Enjoy!

This design is right up my alley!! LOve it! Love the colors...Now where can I buy one of those coffee cups? And can you make it in a mug style, cause I like a big o' cup of java!!
wow this is brilliant, I love the colour palette and I really love the design. I think Chrysti was the first person I know to create inchies in paper and collage, hers are brilliant. Thanks for your visit, Judy :)
Lots of fun! I like how you posted your palette as well as the design as separate pieces.
These are so pretty! I love the designs on the cups, and the colors are great together. You really got a lot of fine detail on such a small surface.
Thanks Carla - I guess I am used to working on smaller surfaces and using very fine lined pens. Years ago my artist friends told me that I would probably prefer a larger canvas because it means more freedom. So for a while I worked on huge surfaces. Now I find that I prefer the smaller size of the ATCs - I guess everything goes full circle... :-)
And Pattie - I made a mug just for you :-)

Lise,
This is SO very cool, and pretty! I like seeing your process for creating ATCs (I've never done one). And I love that you desinged the "surface design" for the cup...and the shading on the 2nd cup. Wow! Your creative flair always inspires me! --and the colors, I love...very unique!
How fun to see you work through the color palette from start to finish. I enjoy it.
I would love to have cups like that !!
